Partly fixes <http://bugs.gnu.org/18002>.
Reported by David Thompson <dthompson2@worcester.edu>.
* gnu/system.scm (union): Remove #:system parameter, which was unused.
* gnu/system.scm (etc-directory): Remove #:kernel parameter. Set
LINUX_MODULE_DIRECTORY as a function or /run/booted-system.

"messagebus" account.
* gnu/services/base.scm (guix-build-accounts): Likewise.
* gnu/services/avahi.scm (avahi-service): Likewise.
* gnu/packages/base.scm (canonical-package): New procedure.
* gnu/system.scm (%base-packages): Pass BASH, COREUTILS, FINDUTILS,
GREP, and SED through 'canonical-package'.

%BASE-PACKAGES.
(%base-packages): New variable.
* gnu/system/install.scm (installation-os): Use it when defining the
'packages' field.

example. Remove now unneeded module imports. Explain this.
* gnu/system/file-systems.scm (<file-system>)[title]: New field.
* gnu/services/base.scm (file-system-service): Add #:title parameter.
In 'start' gexp, use 'canonicalize-device-spec' and honor TITLE.

operating-system-root-file-system, operating-system-initrd-file):
Adjust accordingly.
* gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (file-system->spec): Likewise.

This fixes a circular dependency between (gnu system) and (gnu system
linux-initrd), where the latter could end up being compiled before
'file-system-type' was defined as a macro.

%binary-format-file-system): Move to...
* gnu/system/file-systems.scm: ... here. New file.
