install: Use the right user and group name for files in the binary tarball.
Suggested by Andreas Enge <andreas@enge.fr>
at <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2015-05/msg00220.html>.
* gnu/system/install.scm (self-contained-tarball): Pass --owner and
--group to 'tar'.
* doc/guix.texi (Binary Installation): Move group and account creation
before extraction. Make "run the daemon" a separate step.
