    guix gc: Add '--delete-generations'.
    
    * guix/scripts/gc.scm (show-help, %options): Add
    '--delete-generations'.  Change '--delete' shorthand to '-D'.
    (delete-old-generations): New procedure.
    (guix-gc)[delete-generations]: New procedure.
    Call it when ACTION is 'collect-garbage' and OPTS contains
    'delete-generations.
    * doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix gc): Document it.

+Before starting the garbage collection process, delete all the generations

+For example, this command deletes all the generations of all your profiles
+that are older than 2 months (except generations that are current), and then
+proceeds to free space until at least 10 GiB are available:

 they are still live.
