challenge: Do nothing when passed zero arguments.

Previously, 'guix challenge' without arguments would list live store
items that had been locally built.  This was deemed confusing,
especially since 'list-live' is an expensive operation.

* guix/scripts/challenge.scm (guix-challenge): Warn and exit with 0 when
FILES is empty.
* doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix challenge): Update accordingly.

In this example, @command{guix challenge} first scans the store to
determine the set of locally-built derivations---as opposed to store
items that were downloaded from a substitute server---and then queries
all the substitute servers. It then reports those store items for which
the servers obtained a result different from the local build.
In this example, @command{guix challenge} queries all the substitute
servers for each of the fives packages specified on the command line.
It then reports those store items for which the servers obtained a
result different from the local build (if it exists) and/or different
from one another; here, the @samp{local hash} lines indicate that a
local build result was available for each of these packages and shows
its hash.

As an example, @code{guix.example.org} always gets a different answer.
