guix-install.sh: Explicitly set root's home directory.
* etc/guix-install.sh (ROOT_HOME): New variable. (sys_create_store, sys_enable_guix_daemon, sys_authorize_build_farms): Use ROOT_HOME instead of ~root or the HOME environment variable. * doc/guix.texi (Binary Installation): Instead of assuming that ~ and $HOME refer to root's directory simply because commands are being run as root, explicilty refer to it via ~root. Fixes: <https://bugs.gnu.org/30728>
