On architectures other than x86_64, the kernel page is not shown. That means
the kernel will be an empty list. This leads to an exception during
installation.
Followup of 139a69b602, part of #5515.

To prevent confusion, remove possibility to choose the desktop services on
both Hurd and 32-bit x86. As the info text suggests, desktop environments are not
available on Hurd. As for x86, there some of the services do not build. While
it is more idiomatic to fix those services, for the 1.5.0 release, use this
workaround to disable the desktop page. This ensures users aren't left
building something that will fail.
* gnu/installer/newt/services.scm
(run-desktop-environments-cbt-page): No longer show special info on Hurd.
(run-desktop-environments-cbt-page/maybe): Call
run-desktop-environments-cbt-page on architectures that support desktop

This is to accomodate following situation:
- The proxy is up
- The substitute server is down
When that happens, 5xx is returned from the proxy, typically either Bad
Gateway or Gateway Timeout. This implies the substitute server is down.
Still, for checking if the user is online, we do not check the response code.
If there is a response, even 4xx, 5xx, it still means the user is online.

The aim here is to improve the user experience. There's anecdotal evidence
that the network performance for bordeaux is better compared to ci at least
for some users, and I don't know of any issues with rate limiting or access
restriction for bordeaux compared to ci. It also has IPv6 support.
Additionally, bordeaux generally had more substitutes than ci, particularly
for aarch64-linux and armhf-linux. This change will offer a very slight
speedup for those substitutes that only bordeaux has.
Bordeaux has been a default substitute server for nearly 3 years now and I
think this change is overdue. I'm also hopeful that we'll be able to build on
the testing regarding mirrors for bordeaux, and that'll allow potentially
improving the hosting setup (through providing more redundancy) and further
improving substitute fetching for users who currently have issues with
substitute access.
