With 4GiB guix pull fails. With 8GiB 'df -h /' returns the following:
none 3.9G 1.6G 2.4G 40% /
so if we don't change the ramfs mount options it is pretty clear that
4GiB is not enough.
The issue here is that we are trying to do an install with the
following constraints:
- It needs to work without external access to the underlying
storage. For instance I cannot become root and simply copy the image
to the correct location and boot that because I lack the permissions
but also because the machine doesn't have Guix.
- I also want the target rootfs to be up to date (especially with
security updates) from the start.
- It needs to be relatively fast and not consume too much resources.
- It also needs to be relatively easy to deploy. Using the guix
installer to install Guix is the easiest as it works out of the box
with a read-only install media, but it also comes with resources
costs as the files being created end up in RAM.

If we don't do that it can't work as the required code is not yet in
the main branch.

This script is supposed to only run on the Guix installer and checks
that it's the case through various ways.

This makes it easier to deploy the VM to the Libre En Communs
infrastructure as it doesn't require to also copy these files to the
VM producing the image.

Copying an image from Guix should not require sudo, and make isn't
supposed to bypass permissions anyway.
