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.

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/guix.texi (Mapped Devices): Document 'needed-for-boot?'.

linux-boot: Load modules and their dependencies, à la 'modprobe'.

* gnu/build/linux-boot.scm: Use (gnu build linux-modules).
  (load-linux-module*): Remove.
  (boot-system): Add #:linux-module-directory parameter.
  [lookup-module]: New procedure.
  Call 'current-module-debugging-port'.  Pass #:lookup-module to
  'load-linux-module*'.  Map LOOKUP-MODULE on LINUX-MODULES.
* gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (base-initrd): Adjust 'boot-system' call
  accordingly.  Adjust #:modules argument as well.
* gnu/system.scm (operating-system-activation-script)[%modules]: Likewise.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (expression->derivation-in-linux-vm): Likewise.

system: Build system-wide locale definitions.

* gnu/system/locale.scm: New file.
* gnu-system.am (GNU_SYSTEM_MODULES): Add it.
* gnu/system.scm (<operating-system>)[locale]: Change the default to
  "en_US.utf8".
  (operating-system-locale-directory): New procecure.
  (operating-system-derivation): Use it.
* doc/guix.texi (Using the Configuration System): Change example locale
  to "fr_FR.utf8".
  (operating-system Reference): Add xref to "Locales".  Document
  'locale-definitions'.
  (Locales): New section.
* po/guix/POTFILES.in: Add gnu/system.scm.

file-systems: 'file-system-needed-for-boot?' always returns #t for "/".

Reported by Nikita Karetnikov.

* gnu/system/file-systems.scm (<file-system>): Rename 'needed-for-boot?'
  accessor to '%file-system-needed-for-boot?'.
  (file-system-needed-for-boot?): New inlinable procedure.
* gnu/system.scm (other-file-system-services)[file-systems]: Rely on
  'file-system-needed-for-boot?' to handle the "/" case.
  (operating-system-initrd-file)[boot-file-systems]: Likewise.

system: Shorten the default label for GRUB entries.

* gnu/system.scm (kernel->grub-label): Shorten entry labels.

activation: Set the firmware search path.

* gnu/build/activation.scm (activate-firmware): New procedure.
* gnu/system.scm (<operating-system>)[firmware]: New field.
  (directory-union): New procedure.
  (%base-firmware): New variable.
  (operating-system-activation-script): Use 'directory-union', and call
  'activate-firmware'.
* doc/guix.texi (operating-system Reference): Document 'firmware'.

services: Add 'user-unmount-service' as an essential service.

* gnu/services/base.scm (user-unmount-service): New procedure.
* gnu/system.scm (essential-services): Use it.
* gnu/system/install.scm (cow-store-service): Mention it in comment.

system: Define 'INFOPATH' in /etc/profile.

* gnu/system.scm (etc-directory)[bashrc]: Set 'INFOPATH'.

system: Allow Linux-libre to find our 'modprobe' command.

Fixes <http://bugs.gnu.org/18525>.
Reported by Mark H Weaver <mhw@netris.org>.

* gnu/build/activation.scm (activate-modprobe): New procedure.
* gnu/system.scm (modprobe-wrapper): New procedure.
  (operating-system-activation-script): Use both.

system: Add pciutils and pciutils to '%base-packages'.

* gnu/system.scm (%base-packages): Add PCIUTILS and USBUTILS.

system: Export 'local-host-aliases'.

* gnu/system.scm (local-host-aliases): New procedure.
  (default-/etc/hosts): Use it.

system: Add Patch to '%base-packages'.

* gnu/system.scm (%base-packages): Add PATCH.

* gnu/build/linux-boot.scm (boot-system): Add #:pre-mount parameter and
  honor it.
* gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (base-initrd): Add #:mapped-devices
  parameter.  Add 'device-mapping-commands' variable, and use it to
  build the #:pre-mount argument of 'boot-system'.
* gnu/system.scm (mapped-device-user,
  operating-system-user-mapped-devices,
  operating-system-boot-mapped-devices): New procedures.
  (device-mapping-services): Use 'operating-system-user-mapped-devices'
  instead of 'operating-system-mapped-devices'.
  (operating-system-initrd-file): Call the initrd with #:mapped-devices.
