    doc: Remind developers to build Guix.
    
    The previous instructions were correct, but we got too many bug reports
    with a root cause of "did not build Guix yet".
    
    Other parts of the manual already instruct `make && make check`, so this
    makes the treatment of building Guix more consistent, too.
    
    * doc/contributing.texi (Building from Git): Instruct the user to run
    `make` when building Guix.
