doc: Improve example for guix-for-channels.
The example was missing the (gnu packages package-management) import, so it
did not work.  While the module was mentioned below, I overlooked the
sentence.  So add it also into the example to make it more obvious.

* doc/guix.texi (Customizing the System-Wide Guix): Add import to example.

services: guix: Default `channels' field to #f.
In the absence of the /etc/guix/channels.scm file, %default-channels is used
anyway.  If user manually (or by extra-special-file) created the file, we
should respect it.  This commit therefore changes the default to #f, hopefully
having zero impact on people not actively using the `channels' field.

* gnu/services/base.scm (<guix-configuration>)[channels]: Set default to #f.

services: xorg: Add xorg-start-command-xinit procedure.
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.

* gnu/services/xorg.scm (xorg-start-command-xinit): New public procedure.
* doc/guix.texi (X Window): Document it.

configure.ac: Set default value for the 'prefix' variable.
The Guix standard configuration uses a localstatedir of /var and a sysconfdir
of /etc.  To ease things for everyone, make the default values match that
standard expected configuration.  See
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2024-05/msg00003.html> for a
related discussion.

* configure.ac: Default $prefix to '' unless already set.
* doc/contributing.texi (Building from Git): Streamline doc.
* doc/guix-cookbook.texi (Guix environment via direnv): Likewise.

maint: Suggest ‘guix git authenticate’ for initial authentication.
The previous recommendation, running ‘make authenticate’, was insecure
because it led users to run code from the very repository they want to
authenticate:

authenticate’ instead of ‘make authenticate’.
* etc/git/post-merge: New file.
* etc/git/pre-push: Run ‘guix git authenticate’ instead of ‘make
