For single-disk installs (external USBs) and for amnesiac UEFIs, Guix is not
found using its default Grub EFI bootloader location of
/boot/efi/EFI/Guix/grubx64.efi means the Guix install will not be found.
To handle this, we can place the bootloader file in the UEFI specification
location, overwriting any other OS that may have placed a file there. This
location is namely /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.efi. Grub has explicit support
for this location/situation with the `--removable` flag.

Fixes a bug whereby authentication of a commit *not* descending from the
introductory commit could succeed, provided the commit verifies the
authorization invariant.
In the example below, A is a common ancestor of the introductory commit
I and of commit X. Authentication of X would succeed, even though it is
not a descendant of I, as long as X is authorized according to the
'.guix-authorizations' in A:
X I
\ /
A
This is because, 'authenticate-repository' would not check whether X
descends from I, and the call (commit-difference X I) would return X.
In practice that only affects forks because it means that ancestors of
the introductory commit already contain a '.guix-authorizations' file.
* guix/git-authenticate.scm (authenticate-repository): Add call to
'commit-descendant?'.
