bootloader: extlinux: Stop using dd binary.
* gnu/bootloader/extlinux.scm (dd): Remove it, (install-extlinux): replace dd call by Guile I/O procedures. * gnu/system/vm.scm (qemu-image): Add (ice-9 binary-ports) to used-modules list to provide "get-bytevector-n" and "put-bytevector". * guix/scripts/system.scm (bootloader-installer-derivation): Ditto.
