SANE documentation in `info guix` is lacking, this patch gives decent documentation about it.  PLEASE merge soon, it's not like this is code.

Thank you!

I applied it with minor tweaks. Please let me know if it makes your
original text less clear.

> PLEASE merge soon, it's not like this is code.

That's true, this is not code. Yet, I think documentation requires as
much care, albeit for different reasons.

Regards,
