doc: Simplify installation instructions
* doc/guix.texi (Installation):
- Move the definition of "foreign distro" out of quotation
- Repeat overwrite warning
- Remove superfluous commentary
* doc/guix.texi (Binary Installation):
- Clarify that installing on a foreign distro has two methods: using
packaged binaries and building from source
- Add cross reference to "Building from Git"
- Move the foreign distro installation instructions out of quotation
- Move directions for 'guix-install.sh' after instructions to use
distribution-specific package managers
- Specify "distributions" as "GNU/Linux distributions"
- Add GnuPG as a requirement for 'guix-install.sh'
- Add comma after "Likewise"
- Remove redundant instructions to use 'guix-install.sh'
- Split the requirements between system requirements for binary
installations, GNU/Linux or GNU/Hurd, and requirements for running
'guix-install.sh'
- Clarify that 'guix-install.sh' guides users through the steps
- Summarize the steps 'guix-install.sh' follows rather than try to
detail them
- Make explicit that the 'guix-install.sh' default is to download
substitutes
- Emphasize that the substitute authorization code is an example and
may need modification

Switch order of the default substitute servers.
The aim here is to improve the user experience. There's anecdotal evidence
that the network performance for bordeaux is better compared to ci at least
for some users, and I don't know of any issues with rate limiting or access
restriction for bordeaux compared to ci. It also has IPv6 support.
Additionally, bordeaux generally had more substitutes than ci, particularly
for aarch64-linux and armhf-linux. This change will offer a very slight
speedup for those substitutes that only bordeaux has.
Bordeaux has been a default substitute server for nearly 3 years now and I
think this change is overdue. I'm also hopeful that we'll be able to build on
the testing regarding mirrors for bordeaux, and that'll allow potentially
improving the hosting setup (through providing more redundancy) and further
improving substitute fetching for users who currently have issues with
substitute access.
