This should improve the performances a bit as this mostly pass through
the host CPU, and so the VM can benefit from some of the more advanced
CPU features. Depending on the CPU and host configuration, it can also
enable other features as well like nested KVM.

Some 'string' were aligned with the di-question. In addition I also
separated the response type and values in a different column to make
it easier to detect this kind of mistakes.

The target server (anthea) where the images will now be deployed
doesn't have autoconf, automake and m4 installed.
Because of that we work around by using the Guix versions.

This should make it more clear that the netinstall is to be done
manually and that it works with libvirt LXC.

This enables to test if modifications have guile syntax error way more
rapidely, and by using way less space than with full images.

Personally I'm used to the US keyboard, but Libre En Communs has other
sysadmins than me and they might want to use their preferred keyboard
layout instead.
This script has been tested on a Guix system installation.
Finding a way to launch the script at boot will be done later on.

In Trisquel 11, we have Guix 1.3.0, and with that, guix pull fails.
I used the guix-install.sh script from Guix 1.4.0 and verified its
integrity through the Parabola PCR package for it.

Having several VM inside the same repository could help as some of the
fixes between the two repositories are extremely similar and could be
done in the same commit.

By default only mcron is restarted. It was verified within the
guix-installer-vm that this change worked by looking at the pid of
guix-daemon, waiting for an automatic update to happen and looking at
the (new) pid of guix-daemon.
The mumble-server and nginx daemons were not added to the list because
we don't have the audio.experimental.a-lec.org domain setup yet in the
Libre en Communs DNS.

The tarball can be copied to the VM through the serial port with the
following command:
# cat > mumble-vm.tar.xz.b64
the user then pastes the base64 content and types ctrl+d and this
results in the file being written.
The content can then be extracted with the following commands:
# base64 -d mumble-vm.tar.xz.b64 > mumble-vm.tar.xz
# tar xf mumble-vm.tar.xz

We at least need nss-certs for running guix system reconfigure
manually, so it's a good idea to have it.

According to the operating-system-file fileld of
unattended-upgrade-configuration in the manual, automatic updates
don't work when "/run/current-system/configuration.scm [...] refers to
extra files (SSH public keys, extra configuration files, etc.) via
local-file and similar constructs.".
So we need these files in the store and to point to them to make the
automatic updates work.

infrastructure as it doesn't require to also copy these files to the
VM producing the image.
