Previously, ‘guix pack -R’ would build a wrapper containing both the
“userns” and “fakechroot” engines, instead of providing nothing but the
“userns” engine as the manual says.  This patch fixes it.

* guix/scripts/pack.scm (wrapped-package): Add #:fakechroot?
[build]: When FAKECHROOT? is false, ‘elf-loader-compile-flags’ always
returns '().

Hello!

I stumbled upon the bug whereby ‘guix pack -RR’, just like (guix build
gremlins), loads entire ELF files in memory just to parse them, which
can OOM if said files are large enough:

  https://issues.guix.gnu.org/59365#4

I thought passing a single ‘-R’ would allow me to work around the
problem, since the fakechroot engine was not supposed to be compiled
in this case, but it turns out it was.

This patch makes ‘guix pack’ conform with the doc: with a single ‘-R’,
only the “userns” engine gets compiled.

Thoughts?

Ludo’.
