The need for this use case appeared when attempting to install Guix on a truly
minimal image made with Buildroot, which lacked enough GNU components that I
had to extract a guix pack to /gnu before attempting installation, which would
then refuse to proceed because of the existing /gnu.
* etc/guix-install.sh: Document environment variables.
(sys_create_store) [GUIX_ALLOW_OVERWRITE]: Skip pre-existing installation
checks and output a warning. Extract the tarball directly to /.
Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/58858>.
* etc/guix-install.sh (main): Use 6 'X' characters in the template, as this is
the minimum required by Busybox's mktemp (which matches glibc's mktemp
behavior).

This started out as a bug-fix for a GUI login loop that was resulting from XDG_DATA_DIRS
not including any of the host distro's directories. The solution was to export the vari-
able (with fail-safe defaults) before source-ing GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile. It turns out
changes have already been made to ensure that XDG_DATA_DIRS, etc. are always exported
before anything guix-specific. So, this export is no longer necessary.
For reference, the aforementioned bug was found on a Debian 11 machine and it's guix.sh
init profile for guix version 1.2.
* etc/guix-install.sh (sys_create_init_profile): Remove unnecessary
XDG_DATA_DIRS export.

* etc/guix-install.sh: Rename /etc/profile.d/guix.sh to zzz-guix.sh.
This script refers to environment variables set by the host distribution.
They may be set in other scripts in /etc/profile.d, which must therefore
be run first.
Example: in Ubuntu 20.04, XDG_DATA_DIRS is set in
/etc/profile.d/xdg_dirs_desktop_session.sh

Avoid printing
Press return to continue...[1666352494.051]: Starting installation…

when the return itself wasn't echoed on the console.
* etc/guix-install.sh (welcome): Add a carriage return to the prompt,
so that the next line of output may overwrite it.
This doesn't affect the installation (yet), but reserves the right to
default to safe values other than ‘y’ in future.
* etc/guix-install.sh (welcome): Warn if the ‘return’ wasn't.
Commit 6a2e303d3a had modified prompt_yes_no to only read a single character,
aiming to ease the user experience. This was, in retrospect, a bad idea, as
it makes user input error more likely and introduces complexity.
This commit reverts to line-oriented input, while preserving the default yes
value so that a user can simply hit 'Enter' at the prompt in place of typing
"yes".
* etc/guix-install.sh (_flush): Delete function.
(prompt_yes_no): Restore line-oriented read. Remove loop. Make anything else
than yes means no. Use Bash features to streamline definition.
Reported-by: Lars-Dominik Braun <lars@6xq.net> and others.
* etc/guix-install.sh (_flush): New function.
(prompt_yes_no): Clear input, then only read the first character, silently.
Add the [Yes/no] string to the message. When a newline is entered by the
user, treat it as the default value, which is "yes".
(chk_gpg_keyring): Remove "(yes/no)" from the prompt message.
(configure_substitute_discovery): Likewise.
(sys_authorize_build_farms): Likewise.
If "$HOME/.guix-home/profile" exists, use it for GUIX_PROFILE instead of

The default values from the XDG base directory specification make little
sense for Guix System, and some scripts in Guix assume that they are not
"empty or unset": for example, see <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/56050>.
On foreign distros, however, omitting the default values is likely to
break software from the distro, perhaps even preventing the desktop
environment from starting. To smooth over the difference, use the
system-wide configuration to ensure the environment variables are always
explicitly set on foreign distros.

XDG base directory variables.

Also ensure prompt_yes_no always print the message with a trailing space,

If GUIX_PROFILE is exported here, any subsequent

(main) <GUIX_BINARY_FILE_NAME>: Double quote variable.
This is necessary as the directory context is changed in the script, breaking
the use of a relative path.
* etc/guix-install.sh (main) <GUIX_BINARY_FILE_NAME>: Resolve its absolute

This is useful for example for testing release candidates not yet uploaded to
the FTP, or for testing manually downloaded images from the CI.

add it to the guixbuilders' lists of supplementary groups.

After initial installation on a foreign distro, the guix pull profile
won't be present in path. This means that the first guix pull won't take
effect until the shell is restarted.
~/.guix-profile cannot be pre-loaded like this as the relevant paths are
stored in ~/.guix-profile/etc/profile, which simply won't exist.
However, guix package will output a relevant hint that instructs the
user to reload the profile, so this isn't a problem.
