Multiple profiles are relatively hard to set up and maintain, especially
for newcomers. Thus, suggest ‘guix shell’ as an alternative.
* doc/guix-cookbook.texi (Guix Profiles in Practice): Add note
linking to ‘guix shell’.
(The benefits of manifests): Remove outdated info about ‘guix
environment’ and profiles that may be GC’d. Update.
So far this section would appear before “Getting Started”. This moves
it right after “System Configuration”.

Configuration”.
* gnu/services/base.scm (<network-link>): Add mac-address field. Set
type field to #f by default, so it won't be mandatory. network-link
without a type will be used for existing interfaces.
(assert-network-link-mac-address, mac-address?): Add sanitizer. Allow
valid mac-address or #f.
(assert-network-link-type): Add sanitizer. Allow symbol or #f.

Add 'createAccount?', 'uid' and 'gid' to <postgresql-configuation>.
Unlike other system daemons, the PostgreSQL data directory is typically
meant to persist across 'guix system reconfigure' and once created, you
don't want it's UID or GID to change anymore.
Furthermore, if you want to place the data directory on a network share
and use NFSv4 with idmap, then the 'postgres' user must exist when the
'rpc.idmapd' daemon is launched; prior to mounting the share. And it
needs to be possible to mount the share without configuring PostgreSQL.
With NFSv3, the UID and GID typically needs to match those on the
server.
The added options allow for both of these scenarios:
You can either create the user in (operating-system (users)) completely
independently of the 'postgresql-service-type' (for instance to get your
NFS setup working first prior to configuring your databases) - or "pin"
it's UID / GID values.

[uid, gid]: New fields.
(%postgresql-accounts): Remove.

This was prompted by <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/66537>, where someone
tried to build Guix within ‘guix shell --pure’ on a foreign distro and
found that ./configure would pick software from the host system.
Suggested by Hiep Pham <hiepph9@proton.me>.
