maint: Suggest ‘guix git authenticate’ for initial authentication.

Browse source 
The previous recommendation, running ‘make authenticate’, was insecure
because it led users to run code from the very repository they want to
authenticate:

  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2024-04/msg00252.html

* Makefile.am (commit_v1_0_0, channel_intro_commit)
(channel_intro_signer, GUIX_GIT_KEYRING, authenticate): Remove.
* Makefile.am (.git/hooks/%): New target, generalization of previous
‘.git/hooks/pre-push’ target.
(nodist_noinst_DATA): Add ‘.git/hooks/post-merge’.
* doc/contributing.texi (Building from Git): Suggest ‘guix git
authenticate’ instead of ‘make authenticate’.
* etc/git/post-merge: New file.
* etc/git/pre-push: Run ‘guix git authenticate’ instead of ‘make
authenticate’.

checkout by running:
@example
make authenticate
guix git authenticate \
9edb3f66fd807b096b48283debdcddccfea34bad \
"BBB0 2DDF 2CEA F6A8 0D1D E643 A2A0 6DF2 A33A 54FA"
@end example
The first run takes a couple of minutes, but subsequent runs are faster.
On subsequent runs, you can run the command without any arguments since
the @dfn{introduction} (the commit ID and OpenPGP fingerprints above)
will have been recorded@footnote{This requires a recent version of Guix,
from May 2024 or more recent.}:
Or, when your configuration for your local Git repository doesn't match
@example
guix git authenticate
@end example
When your configuration for your local Git repository doesn't match
the default one, you can provide the reference for the @code{keyring}
branch through the variable @code{GUIX_GIT_KEYRING}. The following
branch @i{via} the @option{-k} option. The following
example assumes that you have a Git remote called @samp{myremote}
pointing to the official repository:
@example
make authenticate GUIX_GIT_KEYRING=myremote/keyring
guix git authenticate \

@xref{Invoking guix git authenticate}, for more information on this
command.
@quotation Note
You are advised to run @command{make authenticate} after every
@command{git pull} invocation. This ensures you keep receiving valid
changes to the repository.
By default, hooks are installed such that @command{guix git
authenticate} is invoked anytime you run @command{git pull} or
@command{git push}.
@end quotation
After updating the repository, @command{make} might fail with an error
