This change allows overriding the home directory of all filesystem mappings to
help hide the identity of the calling user in a container.
* doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix environment)[--container]: Mention --user.
[--user]: Add item.
* guix/scripts/environment.scm (show-help): Add --user.
(%options): Add --user.
(launch-environment/container) Add 'user' parameter. Update doc. Override
'user-mappings' using 'override-user-mappings'. Consider override for chdir.
(mock-passwd, user-override-home, overrid-euser-dir): New procedures.
(guix-environment): Disallow --user without --container. Provide user to
'launch-environment/container'.
* tests/guix-environment.sh: Add user test.

This change is motivated by attempts to run programs (like GNU IceCat) within
containers. The 'fontconfig' program, for example, is configured explicitly
to check ~/.guix-profile for additional fonts.
There were no existing container tests in 'tests/guix-environment.sh', but I
added one anyway for this change.
* doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix environment): Add '--link-profile'.
* guix/scripts/environment.scm (show-help): Add '--link-profile'.
(%options): Add 'link-profile' as '#\P', assigned to 'link-profile?'.
(link-environment): New procedure.
(launch-environment/container): Use it when 'link-profile?'.
[link-profile?]: New parameter.
(guix-environment): Leave when '--link-prof' but not '--container'. Add
'#:link-profile?' argument to 'launch-environment/container' application.
* tests/guix-environment-container.sh: New '--link-profile' test.

* doc/guix.texi (Certificate Services): Document <certificate-configuration>,
the change from domains to certificates and the fact that their path is now
derived from their name.
* gnu/services/certbot.scm (<certificate-configuration>): Add and export it.
(certbot-configuration, certbot-command, certbot-activation,
certbot-nginx-server-configurations, certbot-service-type): Replace 'domains'
with 'certificates'.
(certbot-nginx-server-configurations): Use only one nginx-server-configuration
and use all certificate domains as the server-name.
* gnu/services/xorg.scm (slim-shepherd-service): Use SESSREG to register X11
session.
* doc/guix.texi (slim-configuration): Document new field "sessreg".
Partitions can have their own labels and UUIDs (e.g. under GPT) that are
unrelated to those of the contained file system. Confusing the two ends
poorly.
* doc/guix.scm (File Systems, Proceeding with the Installation)
(Using the Configuration System, Initial RAM Disk): Substitute `file
system' for `partition' when talking about labels and UUIDs.
The text refers to a snippet which has since been removed, but a
suitable replacement is near. Use it.
* doc/guix.texi (Using the Configuration System): Substitute bind for
tcpdump.
Suggested by Danny Milosavljevic <dannym@scratchpost.org>.
* doc/guix.texi (Printing Services): Mention how to add support for
Epson printers to CUPS via escpr in the configuration example.

This simplifies OS configuration: users no longer need to be aware of
what a given service depends on.

The nginx service can fail to start if the server names hash bucket size is
too small, which can happen on some systems, and when using QEMU, depending on
the CPU.
* gnu/services/web.scm (<nginx-configuration>): Add
server-names-hash-bucket-size and server-names-hash-bucket-max-size.

* gnu/tests/web.scm (%nginx-servers): Remove redundant

In commit ee17a9e06e, the helpers git-version
and git-file-name removed the need to build version and file name strings
manually for packages that use VCS snapshots.
doc/guix.texi (Version Numbers): Use git-version and git-file-name.
This avoids repeated deprecation messages, particularly while running
'guix system build' or similar.

to 'compiled-modules'.
