gnu: Deprecate `texlive-tiny'.
At this point, there are three equivalent TeX Live sub-systems:
texlive-scheme-basic, texlive-tiny, and (texlive-updmap.cfg).  It is confusing
to keep so many around.

TEXLIVE-TINY.

Christopher Baines 0ea096ae23
doc: Move and rewrite the branching strategy.
Move away from using staging and core-updates, and make the strategy
independant of branch names.

Keep the 300 dependent threshold for changes to master, as I don't have any
specific reason to change this.

Most importantly, require using guix-patches issues to coordinate merging of
the branches, as I think that'll address the key issues that have shown up
recently where it's been unclear which branch should be merged next.

* doc/contributing.texi (Submitting Patches): Move the branching strategy to a
new Managing Patches and Branches section.
(Managing Patches and Branches): New section.
(Commit Policy): Simplify through referencing the new Managing Patches and
Branches section.

doc: Use the term "Procedure" for definitions.
In an effort to homogenize things, commit
3c40dfe285 replaced:

  @deffn {Scheme Procedure}

with:

  @defun

However, the latter prints "Function" when all existing material about
Scheme uses the term "procedure".

Thus, for consistency, this commit switches to:

  @deffn {Procedure}

* doc/guix.texi, doc/contributing.texi: Use "@deffn {Procedure}"
consistently rather than "@defun" or similar.

doc: Simplify contributing section by automating git configuration.
Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/58813>.  No longer suggests to splice the

automatic.

doc: contributing: Tweak the Commit Policy.
Add more examples of when it can be appropriate to push changes without
review, as I think this can be appropriate in the case of trivial changes (as
mentioned before), but also non-trivial fixes.

No longer suggest pushing simple new packages or package upgrades (that don't
cause lots of rebuilds) without sending to guix-patches. Now there's some
automation for testing changes sent to guix-patches, sending changes there
before pushing can mean that more rigorous testing takes place and help speed
up substitutes becoming available. This is true, even if no human review takes
place.

Only suggest waiting one week for review for simpler changes, wait two weeks
for more significant changes.

Also, reorder some of the information in this section so it's grouped together
better.
