Passing ADDITIONAL_GUIX_COMMON_FLAGS="--no-substitutes --bootstrap" as
suggested doesn't work:
```bash
...outputting in: '/bitcoin/guix-build-a1f0b8b62eb8/output/x86_64-linux-gnu'
...bind-mounted in container to: '/outdir-base/x86_64-linux-gnu'
guix time-machine: error: bootstrap: unrecognized option
```
and I think bootstrapping is more than covered in the preceding "Choose
your security model" section.

guix: Record precious directories and add guix-clean
Many users have reported problems that stem from having an unclean
working tree. To that end, I've written a guix-clean script which should
help reset the working tree while respecting user-specified precious
directories.
Precious directories, such as:
- SOURCES_PATH
- BASE_CACHE
- SDK_PATH
- OUTDIR
Should be preserved when cleaning the working tree, and are thus
recorded in ./contrib/guix/var/precious_dirs.
The ./contrib/guix/guix-clean script is able to parse that file and make
sure to avoid them when cleaning out the working tree.

By registering the container profiles as garbage collector roots, it
will prevent `guix gc` from garbage collecting derivations which our
container needs and inconvieniencing the user with a rebuild.

This relatively easy change eliminates all runtime dependencies (except
for the kernel) for dmg, which is the only native build tool that gets
put in our output tarballs.
This allows much more flexibility when constructing the codesigning
environment, and is much more robust.
./windeploy is a "working directory", and therefore belongs inside
distsrc-*. Many people have noticed their Guix builds failing after
hours simply because they did not remove windeploy (but did remove the
distsrc-* directories).
In Guix, there are two flags for controlling parallelism:
Note: When I say "derivation," think "package"
--cores=n
- controls the number of CPU cores to build each derivation. This is
the value passed to `make`'s `--jobs=` flag.
- defaults to 0: as many cores as is available
--max-jobs=n
- controls how many derivations can be built in parallel
- defaults to 1
Therefore, if set --max-jobs=$MAX_JOBS and don't set --cores, Guix could
theoretically spin up $MAX_JOBS * $(nproc) number of threads, and that's
no good.
So we could either default to --cores=1, --max-jobs=$MAX_JOBS
- Pro: --cores=1 means that `make` will be invoked with `-j1`,
avoiding problems with package whose build systems and test
suites break when running multi-threaded.
- Con: There will be times when only 1 or 2 derivations can be built
at a time, because the rest of the dependency graph all depend
on those 1 or 2 derivations. During these times, the machine
will be severely under-utilized.
or --cores=$MAX_JOBS, --max-jobs=1
- Pro: We don't encounter prolonged periods of
severe under-utilization mentioned above.
- Con: Many packages' build systems and test suites break when running
multi-threaded.
or --cores=1, --max-jobs=1 and let the user override with

c33b199456 guix: Bump glibc and linux-headers (Carl Dong)
65363a1bd8 guix: Rebase on 95aca2991b (1.2.0-12.dffc918) (Carl Dong)
Pull request description:
On bumping the time-machine:
```
A few changes which are useful for us:
1. 'gnu: cross-gcc-arguments: Enable 128 bit long double for POWER9.' is
now merged into master.
2. gnutls is bumped to 3.6.15 and the temporal test failure in
status-request-revoked is fixed. Note that this does not fix the case
where one has installed Guix v1.2.0 and is running a substitute-less
bootstrap build, since the `guix time-machine` command itself has a
dependency on gnutls v3.6.12 (the one with the broken test) and will
thus try to build it before attempting to jump forwards in time. This
does however, mean that those who build a version of Guix that also
contains this fix will not go backwards in time to build the broken
gnutls v3.6.12.
```
On bumping the rest:
```
Bump glibc and linux-headers to match those of our Gitian counterparts.
We also require a glibc >= 2.28 for the test-symbol-check scripts to
work properly.
The default BASE-GCC-FOR-LIBC also has to be bumped since glibc 2.31
requires a gcc >= 6.2
```
This is a prerequisite for #20980

ACK c33b199456 - I think going ahead with this now and to sycn back up to gitian is fine. It will also unblock #20980. Potential code signing related issues can be sorted out in #21239 and later PRs.

a6a1b106dc guix: only download sources for hosts being built (fanquake)
Pull request description:
For example, if a user is only interested in building for Linux, this saves downloading the macOS compiler and additional dependencies, which is meaningful on a slow/poor connection. This will result in a few additional `make` invocations, for the Linux hosts, however this is low overhead, and time-wise irrelevant in terms of the overall build.

The new time-machine commit is Guix v1.2.0 with a yet-unupstreamed patch
for NSIS.
A few important changes:
1. Guix switched back from using CPATH to C{,PLUS}_INCLUDE_PATH as the
way to indicate #include search paths.
2. GCC's library is now split into a separate output, whereas before it
was included in the default output. This means that our gcc toolchain
packages need to propagate that output.
3. A few package versions were bumped
