    linux-initrd: Further strip the static Guile.
    
    ‘guile-static-initrd’ weighs in at 46 MiB, compared to 54 MiB for
    ‘guile-static-stripped’ (15% reduction).
    
    * gnu/packages/make-bootstrap.scm (make-guile-static-stripped): Add
    ‘directories-to-remove’ parameter and honor it.
    (%guile-static-initrd): New variable.
    * gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (expression->initrd): Default to
    ‘%guile-static-initrd’.
    * doc/guix.texi (Initial RAM Disk): Adjust accordingly.
