More INSTALL and HACKING docs

More INSTALL and HACKING docs

[Pjotr Prins]

Because I don't trust my memory I tend to write up what I find out

  https://github.com/pjotrp/guix-notes/blob/master/INSTALL.org
  https://github.com/pjotrp/guix-notes/blob/master/HACKING.org

Malcolm also started one

  https://github.com/malcook/sce/blob/master/README.org

since it is written in Org-mode, we hope some of it might find its way
into the main docs eventually. 

Corrections appreciated!!

Hey, this is good stuff!  I like how some explanations are framed from
a Rubyists perspective.  I hope it may help some Ruby programmers join
in on all the packaging fun.

I would like to correct something in the HACKING.org document:

    Note that Docker is a propriety technology and frowned upon by
members of the GNU Guix community.

Docker is free software[0].  Some of us may not be very enthusiastic
about Docker (me), but we do not frown upon it because it gives its
users the 4 freedoms.  I also feel that this is a good time to mention
that someone should package the Go compiler. ;)

Thanks,
