installer: final: Stop guix-daemon before accessing store database.

As part of fixing <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/59784>, make sure
/var/guix/db.sqlite is only copied while guix-daemon is stopped.

* gnu/installer/final.scm (call-with-mnt-container): Add FIXME comment.
(install-system): Copy DATABASE-FILE and SAVED-DATABASE only when
'guix-daemon' is stopped.  Add logging lines.
