DRAFT system: Add (gnu system bootstrap).

This allows us to perform arbitrary builds on a system that has no
userland besides the build process itself, running as PID 1.

Suggested by Vagrant Cascadian.

DRAFT: The resulting system does build things, but this is all happening
into memory, which may or may not be a problem (it allows us to not have
disk drivers in the kernel!).  More importantly, it does not display
anything upon completion, and the build result is lost as well.

* gnu/system/bootstrap.scm: New file.
* gnu/local.mk (GNU_SYSTEM_MODULES): Add it.

;;; Commentary:
;;;
;;; This file provides tooling to build an operating system image that builds
;;; a set of derivations straight from the initrd. This allows us to perform
;;; builds in an environment where the trusted computing base (TCB) has been
;;; stripped from guix-daemon, shepherd, and other things.
;;;
;;; Run "guix system vm gnu/system/bootstrap.scm" to get a VM that runs this
;;; OS (pass "-m 5000" or so so it has enough memory), or use "guix system
;;; disk-image", write it to a USB stick, and get it running on the bare
;;; metal!
