1.4 Reduced Binary Seed Bootstrap

During the Guix 1.1 development series we managed to create the first reduction by 50% of the Guix bootstrap binary seed7. This was a very important step because the ~250MB seed of binary code was practically non-auditable, which makes it hard to establish what source code produced them.
