build: Protect against misconfiguration of localstatedir.
Suggested by Jookia <166291@gmail.com>. * m4/guix.m4 (GUIX_CURRENT_LOCALSTATEDIR, GUIX_CHECK_LOCALSTATEDIR): New macros. * config-daemon.ac: Use 'GUIX_CHECK_LOCALSTATEDIR'. * Makefile.am (DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS): Add --localstatedir. * doc/guix.texi (Requirements): Mention --localstatedir. (The Store): Mention LOCALSTATEDIR as such.
