ui: Allow evaluating multi-expressions strings with read/eval.

This can be useful when evaluating a scheme-file store output for example,
which has multiple top level expressions.

* guix/ui.scm (read/eval): Also accept a port object as argument.  Read and
evaluate all expressions from input port or string.
