b4d0288c46 doc: update Guix INSTALL.md (fanquake)

Pull request description:

  It's somewhat annoying that Guix is falling out of being packaged by distros. For some more context, see https://lwn.net/Articles/1035491/.
  > However, it is likely that the [Guix](https://guix.gnu.org/en/) package manager will soon be removed from the repositories for Debian 13 and Debian 12 ("bookworm", also called oldstable).

  This seems to be happening. You can't `apt install guix` using the current release of Debian. https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=guix. Guix is not going to be included in next release of Ubuntu (`25.10`): https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=guix.

  Looking at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/guix, comments over the last few months seem to indicate that the build is broken.

  A 1.5.0 release is planned for sometime in January 2026: https://codeberg.org/guix/release-planning/wiki/release-1.5.0-project/. So hopefully the situation is going to improve in future.
