[bug#31437] [PATCH 1/2] doc: Update documentation of guix lint

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hello,

Björn Höfling <bjoern.hoefling@bjoernhoefling.de> skribis:

> * doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix lint): Add cpe-version to example.
> * doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix lint): Add example for lint-hidden-cve.

I reworded the bit about ‘lint-hidden-cve’, mostly so that packagers
don’t start using it without a very good reason ;-), and committed.

Thanks!

Ludo’.
