guix lint

[Danny Milosavljevic <dannym@scratchpost.org>]

Currently, when run from gnome-terminal, "guix lint" prints CR and then writes a shorter text, resulting in a less-than-ideal display.

I propose to clear-to-end-of-line before that.

Also, at the very end of the lint check it still did this:

dannym@dayas ~/src/guix$ -0.9.4 [formatting]...

                         ^^^^

Therefore, I clear the line at the very end of "run-checkers" as well.
