installer: Choosing a locale opens the translated manual on tty2.
Suggested by Florian Pelz. * gnu/system/install.scm (%installation-node-names): New variable. (log-to-info): Expect the chosen locale as an argument. Compute the language, Info file name, and node name. Install the locale. (documentation-shepherd-service): Add 'locale' parameter to the 'start' action and honor it. Set GUIX_LOCPATH and TERM as environment variables for the process. * gnu/installer.scm (apply-locale): Use (gnu services herd). Call 'stop-service' and 'start-service' with the chosen locale.
