Hi,

I've committed this as 77f921587c6b784e84b98a9f2e9c821f73114340.  This
commit includes the minor changes suggested by Ludo.

In particular, I used the phrase "official build server" instead of
"hydra" where applicable; I simply added a cross-reference to the
description of the --fallback option instead of making it more verbose;
and I changed the language describing how substitutes are disabled by
default when Guix is installed on a foreign distro to emphasize the fact
that our recommended installation steps will enable them anyway.

If anyone has any concerns, please let me know.

Hi Guix,

Attached is a patch which attempts to improve the clarity of the
Substitutes section by moving its content into subsections.  I have
also taken the liberty of adding some new information, which should
clarify (1) the question of whether or not substitutes are enabled by
default, and (2) the --fallback option.  The following email thread
demonstrates that this information was not clear enough, so hopefully
it is clear enough now:

Best regards,

  doc: Split the "Substitutes" section into subsections.
