Partly fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/30312>.
* doc/guix.texi (Preparing for Installation): Add note on how to choose
between UEFI and BIOS.
(Using the Configuration System)[Bootloader]: New subsubsection.
(Bootloader Configuration): Expound on the bootloader type and target.
* gnu/system/examples/desktop.tmpl: Switch to UEFI.
* gnu/system/examples/bare-bones.tmpl: Explicitly mention "legacy" and
"BIOS" in the comments.
* gnu/bootloader.scm (<bootloader-configuration>): Deprecate "device" field in
favor of "target" field. This is mostly a renaming but also a generalization
to support UEFI targets being paths to a mounted partition instead of a device
name.
* gnu/system/examples/bare-bones.tmpl:
* gnu/system/examples/desktop.tmpl:
* gnu/system/examples/lightweight-desktop.tmpl:
* gnu/system/examples/vm-image.tmpl:
* gnu/system/install.scm:
* gnu/tests.scm:
* gnu/tests/install.scm:
* gnu/tests/nfs.scm:
* tests/system.scm: Adapt all invocations of bootloader-configuration.
* guix/scripts/system.scm (perform-action): Rename device argument to
bootloader-target.
(process-action): Adapt caller.
* doc/guix.texi (Proceeding with the Installation):
* doc/guix.texi (Bootloader Configuration): Update documentation.
* gnu/bootloader/grub.scm (install-grub-efi): Fix grub-install invocation for
EFI systems.
* gnu/system/examples/bare-bones.tmpl: Use the newer
"bootloader-configuration" syntax.
* gnu/system/examples/desktop.tmpl: Use bootloader-configuration sytax. Also,
use the same label for the LUKS-mapped device and the root partition. Remove
unneeded "title" field for the file-system based on LUKS; as noted in the
manual, the "title" field is ignored for mapped devices.
* gnu/system/examples/lightweight-desktop.tmpl: Use bootloader-configuration,
and use grub-efi-bootloader.
This is a followup to f7f292d359.
* doc/guix.texi (Preparing for Installation): Give commands for
encrypted root installation.
(Proceeding with the Installation): Add item about mapped devices.
(File Systems): Mention that 'dependencies' can list <mapped-device>
objects.
* gnu/system/examples/desktop.tmpl (mapped-devices): New field.
(file-systems): Add 'dependencies' field.

* doc/guix.texi (System Installation): Comment out encrypted root
partition commands.
* gnu/system/examples/desktop.tmpl (mapped-devices): Remove.
(file-systems): Refer to the root by label.
* NEWS: Adjust.
* gnu/system/examples/desktop.tmpl: Add 'mapped-devices' field.
Use it in 'file-systems'.
* doc/guix.texi (System Installation): Suggest encrypted partitions.
Give an example of a command sequence.
* gnu/system/shadow.scm (%base-user-accounts): New variable.
* gnu/system.scm (<operating-system>)[users]: Use it as the default value.
* gnu/system/examples/bare-bones.tmpl (users): Use it.
* gnu/system/examples/desktop.tmpl (users): Likewise.
* doc/guix.texi (operating-system Reference, User Accounts): Adjust
accordingly.
* doc/guix.texi (Using the Configuration System): Add xref to "X.509
Certificates".
(X.509 Certificates): New section.
* gnu/system/examples/desktop.tmpl: Use NSS-CERTS.
* gnu/system/examples/bare-bones.tmpl: Change 'packages' and
'host-name'. Remove D-Bus, Avahi, and SLiM services, and add lsh
instead.
* gnu/system/examples/desktop.tmpl: New file.
* Makefile.am (EXAMPLES): Add it.
