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.

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
