Break the Binary Installation section of the manual into twosubsections: Installation Script, and Manual Installation. With anexample for the Installation Script.
This serves to highlight the existence of the installation script asthe recommended way of installing Guix and provide an example of itsusage for users.
Additionally altered an example systemd command in the ManualInstallation section to turn two commands into one by using the --nowflag instead of calling start then enable.
