system: 'hosts-file' is now a file-like object.
Partly fixes <http://bugs.gnu.org/20720>. Reported by Alex Kost <alezost@gmail.com>. * gnu/system.scm (default-/etc/hosts): Change 'text-file' to 'plain-file'. (maybe-file->monadic): New procedure. (operating-system-etc-directory): Use it. * doc/guix.texi (operating-system Reference, Networking Services): Adjust accordingly.
