Brief Summary:
It appears as though the Guix installer does not reformat the EFI/ESP partition 
if it already exists.

Step to reproduce this bug:
With a computer which already has an ESP partition, go through the graphical 
installation and do not reformat/delete/modify the existing EFI/ESP partition. 
When you confirm the partitioning changes, you may notice that the EFI 
partition remains unmodified.

Effects:
It creates a GRUB2 error which states that it can not find the filesystem 
properly. In my case, it’s because Grub expected a previous OS’s filesystem 
information (Fedora), but as the EFI partition was not modified in the install, 
the .cfg did not reflect the new GUIX filesystem UUID.

What do you think should happen:
When installing using the guided installer, have the GUIX installer 
automatically modify/reformat the ESP/EFI partition. This ensures that that 
GRUB2 can find the new GUIX UUID upon reboot.
