[bug#70829] [PATCH v2 1/2] doc: Document assume-valid-file-name in local-file

[Richard Sent <richard@freakingpenguin.com>]

doc/guix.texi (G-Expressions): Document the use of assume-valid-file-name with
local-file.
---

Missed a commit that my original revision depended on. I initially
submitted that previous commit to https://qa.guix.gnu.org/issue/70830,
but since both commits change the same guix.texi section on similar
subject matter, I'm resubmitting as a series.

+@var{file} can be wrapped in the @code{assume-valid-file-name} syntactic
+keyword. When this is done, there will not be a warning when
+@code{local-file} is used with a non-literal path.  The path is still
+looked up relative to the current working directory at run time.
+Wrapping is done like this:
+
+@lisp
+(define alice-key-file-path "alice.pub")
+;; ...
+(local-file (assume-valid-file-name alice-key-file-path))
+@end lisp

 This is the declarative counterpart of the @code{interned-file} monadic
 procedure (@pxref{The Store Monad, @code{interned-file}}).
