* guix/scripts/environment.scm (launch-environment/container): Change
$HOME to the current user's home directory instead of
/homeless-shelter. Create a dummy /etc/passwd with a single entry for
the current user.
* doc/guix.texi ("invoking guix environment"): Add a note about the
dummy home directory and /etc/passwd.
Suggested by myglc2 <myglc2@gmail.com>.

cases first, and foundations last.
(Features): Mention "GuixSD".
(Utilities): Change intro: not all the tools are for packagers.
'guix-init' served 2 purposes:
- to autoload guix commands (by requiring 'guix-autoloads');
- and to autoload Emacs packages installed with Guix (by requiring
'guix-emacs').
The second purpose is not actual anymore, as Emacs package handles this
task now, so there is no need in 'guix-init' anymore.
* emacs/guix-init.el: Do not require 'guix-emacs'. Add a deprecation
message.
* doc/emacs.texi (Emacs Initial Setup): Recommend to use
'guix-autoloads' instead of 'guix-init'.
Before that, 'guix build --substitute-urls=""' would lead to using the
daemon's own URL list instead of the empty list. The 'or*' hack, which
is to blame, had become unnecessary since commit
fb4bf72be3.
Reported by Mark H Weaver <mhw@netris.org>.
* guix/scripts/substitute.scm (or*): Remove.
(%cache-urls): Use 'or' instead of 'or*'.
* tests/store.scm ("substitute query, alternating URLs"): Add test with
empty URL list.
