offload: Increase default 'overload-threshold' value.

2022-11-23T18:34:42+00:00

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.
Increasing it mitigates that.

* guix/scripts/offload.scm ()[overload-threshold]: Bump
to 0.8.
* doc/guix.texi (Daemon Offload Setup): Likewise.

doc: Call out potential for security vulnerabilities in old software.

2022-11-22T14:36:25+00:00

modify-inputs first.
