    doc: Symlink daemon start-up files.
    
    This patch ensures that always the current profile's daemon will be used.
    
    The .service file contains the path to the guix-daemon within the store. 
Thus
    when copying the file, it will point to the very version of guix-daemon used
    at the time of copying – even after system upgrade or when this version has
    been garbage collected from the store.
    
    * doc/guix.texi (Binary Installation): Change example code for installing
      the systemd and Upstart files to use symbolic links instead of copying
      the files.
