The udev-configuration record now has a hardware field.
The contents of the /etc/udev directory now includes hwdb.bin, which is
computed when the system is instanciated (prior to system activation). The
hardware description files used to generate hwdb.bin are not installed in
/etc, because they are not required at run-time.
The documentation has been reworked so as to explain why creating udev rules
or hardware needs helper functions for configuration or extension.
* gnu/services/base.scm (udev-hardware): New function.
(file->udev-hardware): New function.
(udev-hardware-service): New function.
(udev-etc): Add hwdb.d and hwdb.bin.
(module): Export udev-hardware, file->udev-hardware, and udev-hardware-service.
(<udev-configuration>): Add the native-udev field.
(udev-service-type) [extend]: Populate the hardware field.
* doc/guix.texi (Base Services)[udev-service-type]: Explain configuration and
extension values.
* doc/guix.texi (Base Services)[udev-hardware]: Document it.
[udev-hardware-service]: Same.
* doc/guix.texi (Base Services)[udev-configuration]: Document the native-udev
field.
Rewrite this section to make it easier to document later syntactical
changes.
* doc/guix.texi (Complex Configurations): Rewrite define-configuration
documentation. Fix simple serializer example.

When the manual has "variant-personal-packages", it actually refers to the
channel "variant-packages", as it is named so elsewhere.
To correct this, I ran the command
grep -r -l variant-personal-packages | xargs \
sed -i 's/variang-personal-packages/variant-packages/g'

On foreign distros, not using pre-inst-env when using git-send-email results
in a backtrace ending with: no code for module (guix ui)
This can be confusing as users did not have to use pre-inst-env to use
git-send-email before.

pre-inst-env when calling git-send-email on foreign distros.

* doc/guix.texi (Virtualization Services): Document it.
With offloading to a childhurd is enabled, allowing password-less root
login in the childhurd to anyone amounts to providing write access to
the host’s store to anyone. Thus, disable password-based root logins in
the childhurd.

Cover-letter:
Resolve a circular module dependencies in embedded modules
This series is the culmination of at least a day of effort tracking down the
source of a module dependency cycle (!). The last commit adds some guidelines
in the hope to avoid a repeat (perhaps 'lint' could be taught to
automate these checks).

Lack of clarity reported by lrustland on IRC.
* doc/contributing.texi (Running Guix Before It Is Installed): Refer to
the Building from Git section when giving instructions for generating
the pre-inst-env script.
Until 209204e23b and
d57cab7641, the default image type used by "guix
system image" was an MBR image with an ESP partition.
Having both an MBR image and an ESP partition is handy because the image will
boot on most x86 based systems using legacy BIOS and/or UEFI.
We now have a distinction between MBR images and EFI images. Introduce a new
MBR hybrid image type and default to it to restore the default behaviour.
This also fixes the images section of (gnu ci) that was trying to install a
BIOS bootloader on an EFI, GPT image and failing to do so.
