[bug#58357] [Patch staging ] doc add a recommended system in 'Hardware Considerations'

[Joshua Branson via Guix-patches via <guix-patches@gnu.org>]

It would be nice if the guix manual mentioned that it really works best with 
2GB of RAM. and that the best supported archeteticure is X86_64. 

* doc/guix.texi (Hardware Considerations):  add a reccomended system and a
short commentary about graphics cards.
