Adding a resource page to collect all the #guix content together:

- packaging for guix
- community resources

And, how to create your own package variants using modify-inputs - we slim down Weechat by 50% as a worked example 🎆

Not sure about how it compares to #nix, but for #guix this is a key area of packaging - hope all the examples make sense!
