Subject: [bug#58344] [PATCH v2] gnu: Add wipe.

ChangeLog:
- The phases modification have been indented more on the left
- native-inputs have been converted to a list
- replacing (invoke "autoreconf" "-vfi") by (delete-file "configure")
  resulted in the following build failure:
      configure flags: ("CONFIG_SHELL=/gnu/store/7s2zlc4r9wqvlh9x2gqmzm4lnmbsdzmn-bash-minimal-5.1.8/bin/bash" "SHELL=/gnu/store/7s2zlc4r9wqvlh9x2gqmzm4lnmbsdzmn-bash-minimal-5.1.8/bin/bash" "--prefix=/gnu/store/kx6s2s5s2c99ckzvp81qgzd00qx5l8hp-wipe-2.3.1" "--enable-fast-install" "--build=i686-unknown-linux-gnu")
      /gnu/store/7s2zlc4r9wqvlh9x2gqmzm4lnmbsdzmn-bash-minimal-5.1.8/bin/bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
      error: in phase 'configure': uncaught exception:
  so I kept (invoke "autoreconf" "-vfi").
