Severity: minor

My /var/log/guix-daemon.log.* are full of backtraces like these
(and boring messages like SIGPOLL, spurious SIGPOLL, accepted connections
from pid [..], user [...]).

Backtrace:

ice-9/boot-9.scm:1685:16: In procedure raise-exception:
Throw to key `avahi-error' with args `(#<avahi-error-enum Daemon not running> make-client)'.

Some kind of warning message when the daemon is not running makes sense,
but a full backtrace seems unneeded.

Maybe print a line like:

  warning: avahi daemon is not running, cannot auto-discover substitute servers!

instead.
