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.

Change-Id: I4f6d93ae1fc8b03d80b47b18b5749a51f1fde17b
Signed-off-by: Christopher Baines <mail@cbaines.net>
Checks the availability of the mirror bordeaux.guix.gnu.org in addition to
ci.guix.gnu.org. This allows to proceed the installation if the
ci.guix.gnu.org is unavailable.
* gnu/installer/newt/network.scm (wait-service-online): Relax internet check
availability criteria.

* gnu/installer.scm (installer-program): Add gnutls extension.
* gnu/installer/newt/network.scm (wait-service-online): Check if the CI server
can be reached.
This is useful for automated tests.
* gnu/installer/newt/network.scm (wait-service-online)[online?]: New
procedure. Check for /tmp/installer-assume-online.
Use it instead of 'connman-online?'.
Previously, for a machine that only has wired networking, and only one
such network, we'd have to go through two selection boxes. Now we just
skip both.
* gnu/installer/newt/ethernet.scm (run-ethernet-page): When
'ethernet-services' returns one element, return it directly without
opening a listbox selection.
* gnu/installer/newt/network.scm (run-technology-page): Likewise.
If no technology is detected, ask the user if he prefers to continue or to
exit the installer.
* gnu/installer/newt/network.scm (run-technology-page): Run a choice-window if
technology-items procedure returns an empty list.
* configure.ac: Require that guile-newt is available.
* gnu/installer.scm: New file.
* gnu/installer/aux-files/logo.txt: New file.
* gnu/installer/build-installer.scm: New file.
