This one is similar to:

  https://issues.guix.gnu.org/53225
  https://issues.guix.gnu.org/53381

It has to do with the fact that “wg-quick up” blocks until it succeeds
and that ‘invoke’ gets stuck on ‘waitpid’ until the “wg-quick” process
terminates.

The solution will be to use something non-blocking instead of ‘invoke’;
I’m looking into it.
