`install-file' should print out verbose logs

`install-file' in (guix build utils) should print out verbose logs just as `copy-recursively' does. Something like: (format log-port "~a -> ~a~%" source destination) It's nice to have flowing verbose output when building a package. I believe it is "more reassuring" than waiting at a blank screen
