The Guix standard configuration uses a localstatedir of /var and a sysconfdir
of /etc. To ease things for everyone, make the default values match that
standard expected configuration. See
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2024-05/msg00003.html> for a
related discussion.

screen-locker-service-type by default does both define PAM entry
and make program setuid binary. Normally both methods are
mutually exclusive, if binary has setuid set it does not really
needs PAM, otherway around also similar, if PAM is enabled
binary should not relay on setuid.
Recent swaylock package now compiled with PAM support. When PAM
support is compiled in, swaylock rejects executing if binary is
also setuid program.
This change turns screen-locker-configuration from strict
PAM AND setuid to more flexible PAM AND/OR setuid. Allowing
swaylock to be configured properly while supporting other
screen locker preferences.
* gnu/services/xorg.scm (screen-locker-configuration): Switch from
define-record-type to define-configuration.
[using-pam?]: New field to control PAM entry existence.
[using-setuid?]: New field to control setuid binary existence.
(screen-locker-pam-services): Should not make unix-pam-service if

(screen-locker-setuid-programs): Should not make program setuid
program if using-setuid? is set to #f.

The section insisted on GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH, mentioned version 0.16, and
didn't say much about channels, which made it look obsolete.
* doc/guix-cookbook.texi (GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH): Remove section.
(Guix channels): Rename to...
(Channels): ... this. Merge most of the explanations previously in the
GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH section. Say more about channels and add
