Subject: [PATCH] home: 'reconfigure' checks for potential downgrades.

* guix/scripts/home.scm (show-help, %options): Add "--allow-downgrades".
(%default-options): Remove 'build-mode'; add 'validate-reconfigure'.
(perform-action): Add #:validate-reconfigure.  Call
'check-forward-update' when ACTION is 'reconfigure.
(process-action): Pass #:validate-reconfigure to 'perform-action'.
* gnu/home/services.scm (home-provenance): Export.
* doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix home): Document '--allow-downgrades'.

+@item --allow-downgrades
+Instruct @command{guix home reconfigure} to allow system downgrades.
+
+Just like @command{guix system}, @command{guix home reconfigure}, by
+default, prevents you from downgrading your home to older or unrelated
+revisions compared to the channel revisions that were used to deploy
+it---those shown by @command{guix home describe}.  Using
+@option{--allow-downgrades} allows you to bypass that check, at the risk
+of downgrading your home---be careful!
