gnu: commencement: Do not graft early bootstrap packages.
By definition, these packages are not depended on at run time by any of
the packages we use.  Thus it does not make sense to inherit grafts.
Furthermore, those grafts would often lead to extra overhead for users
who would end up downloading those "-boot0" packages just to build
package replacements that are in fact not going to be used.

This reverts parts of f1597427f220b0799b9c8847768d2f5a93fe3730 and
ce27857f710ff32c05f4ba19a04a695c1cc2ce20.

* gnu/packages/commencement.scm (file-boot0, binutils-boot0): Use plain
'inherit' instead of 'package/inherit'.
