When the user aborts the installation because a core dump is discovered or the
installation command failed, displaying the abort backtrace doesn't make much
sense. Hide it when the abort condition is &user-abort-error and skip directly
to the dump page.
* gnu/installer/steps.scm (&user-abort-error): New variable.
(user-abort-error?): New procedure.
* gnu/installer/newt/final.scm (run-install-failed-page): Raise a
user-abort-error.
* gnu/installer/newt/welcome.scm (run-welcome-page): Ditto.
* gnu/installer.scm (installer-program): Hide the backtrace page and directly
propose to dump the report when the a &user-abort-error is raised.
There will be false positives: Because the Guix installer uses the
kernel argument modprobe.blacklist=radeon,amdgpu and some AMD graphics
actually work okay according to h-node, these users will get a
false alarm.

the welcome page.

ci.guix.gnu.org is unavailable.

availability criteria.

Guix System.

Currently, the installer page RUN-OTHER-SERVICES-CBT-PAGE offers to the user all
installer services that are not of the types 'desktop', 'network-management', or
'networking'. Concretely, this means that it offers the CUPS printing service,
because that is the only service of a different type defined in the installer.
In later commits, we will add some services of a new type, and we only want them
to be offered when the user is installing a non-graphical system.
At least one of these new services (NTP) is part of %DESKTOP-SERVICES. If it
was also offered on RUN-OTHER-SERVICES-CBT-PAGE, and the user had configured a
system using %DESKTOP-SERVICES, the user could accidentally add NTP to their
services twice, which is an error and would break installation.
So, this commit makes the RUN-OTHER-SERVICES-CBT-PAGE be more specific about
what services to offer. This makes it easier to discriminate between desktop and
non-desktop installations, in terms of when a given service is offered.
* gnu/installer/newt/services.scm (RUN-OTHER-SERVICES-CBT-PAGE): Rename to ...
(RUN-PRINTING-SERVICES-CBT-PAGE): ... new variable, and select only 'document' services.
(RUN-SERVICES-PAGE): Adjust accordingly.
* gnu/installer/tests.scm (CHOOSE-SERVICES): Adjust accordingly.
Recommending ext4 over btrfs is probably ill-advised nowadays. See the
regular bug reports about running out of /gnu/store directory entries,
for which the documented fix then breaks booting with GRUB.
Instead, just list regular file systems alphabetically. We can bikeshed
bcachefs later ;-)
Move second-class file systems like NTFS to their own section at the end
of the list.

When the store overlay is mounted, other processes such as kmscon, udev
and guix-daemon may open files from the store, preventing the
underlying install support from being umounted. See:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2018-12/msg00161.html.
To avoid this situation, mount the store overlay inside a container,
and run the installation from within that container.
* gnu/build/shepherd.scm (fork+exec-command/container): New procedure.

(install-system): run the installation from within a container.
* gnu/installer/newt/final.scm (run-install-shell): Remove the display hack.
This adds support for creating and editing NTFS partitions. It is however not
