installer: Add dry-run?
This allows running the installer without root privileges. Do something like ./pre-inst-env guix repl ,use (guix) ,use (gnu installer) (installer-program #:dry-run? #t) ,build $1 => "/gnu/store/...-installer-program" and run /gnu/store/...-installer-program * gnu/installer/newt.scm (locale-page): Add #:dry-run? parameter. (keymap-page): Likewise. * gnu/installer/newt/keymap.scm (run-keymap-page): Likewise. * gnu/installer/steps.scm (run-installer-steps): Likewise. Use it to skip writing to socket. * gnu/installer/newt/final.scm (run-final-page): Rename to... (run-final-page-install): ...this. (dry-run-final-page, run-final-page): New procedures. * gnu/installer/parted.scm (bootloader-configuration): Cater for empty user partitions. * gnu/installer/utils.scm (dry-run-command): New procedure. * gnu/installer.scm (compute-locale-step): Add #:dry-run? parameter. Use it to avoid actually applying locale. (compute-keymap-step): Add dry-run? parameter. Pass it to keymap-page. (installer-program): Add #:dry-run? parameter. If #:true avoid writing to /proc, use dry-run-command, skip sync and reboot, and pass dry-run? to... (installer-steps): ...here. Add #:dry-run? parameter. Use it to disable skip network, substitutes, partitioning pages, and pass it to... compute-locale-step, compute-keymap-step, and final-page. Change-Id: I0ff4c3b0a0c69539af617c27ba37654beed44619
