doc: Update information on installing guix with package managers.

Browse source 
There is no longer a guix package in Debian.  Adapt the instructions to avoid
having to list how to install on every package manager.  The specific
instructions for Parabola are kept since it is a FSDG system.

* doc/guix.texi (Binary Installation): Remove Debian and OpenSUSE installation
instructions.  Update examples of distros with a guix package.  Add
instructions for other package managers.

Some GNU/Linux distributions, such as Debian, Ubuntu, and openSUSE
provide Guix through their own package managers. The version of Guix
may be older than @value{VERSION} but you can update it afterwards by
running @samp{guix pull}.
Some GNU/Linux distributions, such as openSUSE, Alpine and NixOS provide
Guix through their own package managers. The version of Guix may be
older than @value{VERSION} but you can update it afterwards by running
@samp{guix pull}.
We advise system administrators who install Guix, both from the
installation script or @i{via} the native package manager of their
foreign distribution, to also regularly read and follow security
notices, as shown by @command{guix pull}.
For Debian or derivatives such as Ubuntu or Trisquel, call:
@example
sudo apt install guix
@end example
Likewise, on openSUSE:
@example
sudo zypper install guix
@end example
If you are running Parabola, after enabling the pcr (Parabola
Community Repo) repository, you can install Guix with:
@example
sudo pacman -S guix
@end example
For other package managers with a @var{guix} package, you should be able
to install it like any other package.
The Guix project also provides a shell script, @file{guix-install.sh},
which automates the binary installation process without use of a foreign
distro package
