doc: Update information on installing guix with package managers.
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.
