doc: Change some occurrences of "the GNU system" to "Guixotic".
* doc/guix.texi (GNU Distribution): Explain what "Guixotic" is.
(System Installation): Replace "the GNU system" by "Guixotic".
(System Configuration): Likewise.
(Invoking guix system): Likewise.
import: Add CPAN importer.

New files.

* doc/guix.texi (Requirements): Mention `guix import cpan` as a user
of guile-json.
(Invoking guix import): Document new `guix import cpan` command.
services: Make 'nscd-service' configurable; cache hosts/services by default.
Before that, as it was given an empty configuration file, nscd would
actually have all its caches disabled.
* gnu/services/base.scm (<nscd-configuration>, <nscd-cache>): New record
types.
(%nscd-default-caches, %nscd-default-configuration): New variables.
(nscd.conf-file): New procedure.
(nscd-service): Add 'config' parameter. Use 'nscd.conf-file', and
pass its result as the '-f' parameter of nscd.

accordingly. Document 'nscd-configuration', 'nscd-cache',
'%nscd-default-configuration', and '%nscd-default-caches'.
doc: Explain how to set the ownership and permissions of /gnu/store.
Fixes <http://bugs.gnu.org/19316>.
Reported by rekado <rekado@elephly.net>.
* doc/guix.texi (Build Environment Setup): Show commands to set the
ownership and permissions of /gnu/store.
doc: Give example uses of 'deco'.
Suggested by Sleep_Walker on #guix.
* doc/guix.texi (Services): Add 'deco' examples.
guix: scripts: Parse $GUIX_BUILD_OPTIONS separately.
Appending to "raw" args broke optional parameters in 'guix package -I'
and 'guix package -A', and possibly other places. Therefore, switch to
parsing each set of options on its own and append resulting alists
together afterwards.
* guix/scripts/archive.scm (parse-options-from): Rename from
(parse-options) and add explicit argument. New form of (parse-options)
using its old algorithm via -from function.
* guix/scripts/build.scm: Ditto.
* guix/scripts/environment.scm: Ditto.
* guix/scripts/package.scm: Ditto.
* guix/scripts/system.scm: Ditto.
* tests/guix-package.sh: Add test.
* doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix build): Make it clear that the options
are parsed independently.

daemon: Default to '--cores=0'.
Suggested by Deck Pickard <deck.r.pickard@gmail.com>.
* nix/nix-daemon/guix-daemon.cc (main): Set 'settings.buildCores' to 0.
* doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix-daemon): Adjust accordingly.
doc: Explain that 'file-system' must refer to mapped devices by file name.
* doc/guix.texi (File Systems): Clarify what to do when mapped devices
are used.
Revert "system: Add a 'needed-for-boot?' field to 'mapped-device'."
This reverts commit 3b09332adf7ce8e976a4d117a62c586a53af04aa, which
turned out to be a bad idea because we need to have dependency
information between the device-mapping service and the file-system
service that uses it.
doc: Improve porting instructions.
* doc/guix.texi (Porting): Move 'glibc-dynamic-linker' paragraph above.
Clarify what is meant by updating (gnu packages bootstrap). Mention
'gnu-system.am'.
system: Add a 'needed-for-boot?' field to 'mapped-device'.
* gnu/system/file-systems.scm (<mapped-device>)[needed-for-boot?]: New
field.
* gnu/system.scm (operating-system-user-mapped-devices,
operating-system-boot-mapped-devices): Use it instead of trying to
guess. Guessing doesn't work when one refers to a partition using its
label, for instance.

doc: Update stale references in "Bootstrapping".
* doc/guix.texi (Bootstrapping): Final definitions are in (gnu packages
commencement).

'locale-definitions'.
(Locales): New section.
* po/guix/POTFILES.in: Add gnu/system.scm.
guix build: Add '--max-jobs' option.
Suggested by Deck Pickard <deck.r.pickard@gmail.com>.
* guix/scripts/build.scm (show-build-options-help): Document
--max-jobs.

'--max-jobs 0'.
