Partially-Fixes: <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/64006>

* gnu/installer/services.scm (system-services->configuration): When the
LANGUAGE environment variable matches a known native console font, wrap the
%desktop-services or %base-services with modify-services, configuring
console-font-service-type to set the native console font on every tty instead
of the default console font.
---
This makes console messages, such as errors and help texts, readable (like they
were in Guix System 1.4.0) if the user chooses the Belarusian, Bulgarian,
Greek, Esperanto, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Macedonian, Mongolian, Russian, Serbian,
Tajik or Ukrainian language at the beginning of a new installation.  For other
languages, this keeps the default font, which is Unifont-APL8x16 in the latest
development snapshots.  Thanks to Florian Pelz and Josselin Poiret for tips
about editing the installer and testing it using a virtual machine.
