Outdated installation video |

Hi guix!
This email is motivated by https://social.tchncs.de/@mray/103492792270770063
who complained that the instructions didn't work (not in a very nice way :/).
In fact, the video is slightly outdated, showing a different command for
importing the gpg key.
There was also a confusion as the gpg fingerprint appears on a separate
paragraph, as if it were part of the output, leading to a failure due to the
lack of providing a fingerprint. This points to an issue in the video
generation script.
Anyway, this long fingerprint is not necessary anymore, since the script now
suggests to import from savannah. My patch from yesterday also proposes to add
an option that is easier to type to let the script do it. We should update the
video accordingly.
Thanks :)

This is now fixed.

There are a bunch of places in the session scripts where lines are
arbitrarily broken. I’ve fixed a couple of them.
I also elided all hashes, replaced “guix package --install” with “guix
install”, replaced the installer script URL with the shorter
https://guix.gnu.org/install.sh and replaced all instances of
“guix.info” with “guix.gnu.org”.
There are still a few problems with these CLI sessions. One of the
biggest problems in my opinion is the dots that are supposed to indicate
time passing. That’s distorting the real output and it just looks
noisy.
Anyway, this problem is now fixed. Let’s remember to polish these
videos some more.
