pack: Add '--localstatedir' option.
* guix/scripts/pack.scm (self-contained-tarball): Add #:localstatedir? parameter and honor it. (%options, show-help): Add '--localstatedir'. (guix-pack): Honor it. * gnu/build/install.scm (populate-single-profile-directory): Add #:register? parameter and honor it. * doc/guix.texi (Binary Installation): Use '--localstatedir' in example. (Invoking guix pack): Document it.
