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.

The kernel has progressively enabled the BPF settings, to the point where
having a separate kernel for it makes little sense, so repatriate the few
non-default BPF-related configs to our main kernel.
* gnu/packages/linux.scm (%bpf-extra-linux-options): Delete variable.
(default-extra-linux-options): Enable CONFIG_NET_CLS_BPF and
CONFIG_NET_ACT_BPF. CONFIG_IKHEADERS is dropped as it adds 4 MiB to the
kernel image and appears somewhat redundant with BTF debug info.
(linux-libre-with-bpf): Deprecate to linux-libre.

This brings the on disk size of the kernel from 164 MiB to 144 MiB, or about
12%.

CONFIG_MODULE_COMPRESS_GZIP.

This is needed for software making use of eBPF programs, such as the sysdig
utility, among others. For more information about BPF, see:
