I think newbie users might not know whether it applies or not.  Given
that 'guix gc --delete-generations' removes old generations of _all_
user profiles, perhaps we can just keep that instead of listing each of
the various ways to --delete-generations?

It looks a bit overwhelming to have to do all that just to make some
space in the store, especially when there is a single command to do all
of them.
