When the user does not use any desktop environment, the typical sequence is to
log in and then type `startx' into the tty to get a window manager running.
Most distributions do provide a startx by default, but Guix has only an
xorg-start-command that is not suitable for this.
This commit adds a second procedure, xorg-start-command-xinit, that correctly
picks a virtual terminal to use, sets up XAUTHORITY and starts xinit with the
correct arguments. That should make running Guix without a desktop
environment more approachable.

Require that you create a "Request to merge" issue when you create a branch,
rather than when you wish to merge it. This should help avoid this step being
missed.
Also, add information on how to manage these branches:
1. Suggest creating the branch from patches, rather than having a stateful
branch, since this should help to reduce complexity and avoid merges.
2. Require that branches don't have unnecessary changes, since this increases
the risks of conflicts with other branches.
3. Suggest that the branch not be stateful, and it's just a combination of
patches.
4. Suggest avoiding merges since these create a more complicated Git history.
5. Suggest that the branch be up to date before merging, as this helps avoid
the combination of master plus the branch differing significantly from the
branch alone.
6. Document how to manage branches without commit access.
Finally, require that the branch be deleted once they're merged. This
prepares for the branch being created again.

The aim here is to improve the user experience. There's anecdotal evidence
that the network performance for bordeaux is better compared to ci at least
for some users, and I don't know of any issues with rate limiting or access
restriction for bordeaux compared to ci. It also has IPv6 support.
Additionally, bordeaux generally had more substitutes than ci, particularly
for aarch64-linux and armhf-linux. This change will offer a very slight
speedup for those substitutes that only bordeaux has.
Bordeaux has been a default substitute server for nearly 3 years now and I
think this change is overdue. I'm also hopeful that we'll be able to build on
the testing regarding mirrors for bordeaux, and that'll allow potentially
improving the hosting setup (through providing more redundancy) and further
improving substitute fetching for users who currently have issues with
substitute access.
