Mention the file names used and that the UEFI Boot Manager is not modified. Advise to disable write-access over TFTP. * gnu/bootloader.scm (efi-bootloader-profile): Allow a list of packages and collect everything directly in the profile, avoiding a separate collection directory.

2022-11-23offload: Increase default 'overload-threshold' value.Ludovic Courtès
When offloading to a single machine, the previous default value would lead 'guix offload' to wait possibly for several minutes between subsequent builds until normalized load would finally go below 0.6.
