doc: Update for UEFI systems.
* doc/guix.texi (USB Stick Installation): Mention UEFI. (Preparing for Installation): Add notes about EFI System Partition, and mounting partitions before init. (Proceeding with the Installation): Mention the GRUB-EFI package. (Using the Configuration System): Lightweight desktop is now a UEFI system. (GRUB Configuration): Expand on package field. Add indexes. * gnu/system/examples/lightweight-desktop.tmpl: Adjust to native EFI configuration.master
