Hi!

As discussed in <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/22883#69>, this
patch provides a way for channel authors to state what the primary
URL of their channel is.  The goal here is simply to warn users
when they are pulling from a mirror so that they cannot be tricked
into pulling from a stale mirror.

This goes on top of <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/41767>.

Thoughts?

  channels: Warn when pulling from a mirror.
  .guix-channel: Add primary URL.
