bug#25917: operating-system file-system with (check? #t) but (needed-for

Subject: bug#25917: operating-system file-system with (check? #t) but (needed-for-boot #f) pauses boot until user interaction

If one has a operating-system file-system with (check? #t) but (needed-for-boot 
#f), the next boot after reconfiguring will boot into a Guile REPL because the 
initrd doesn't contain the fsck tool for that file system (because all the 
file-systems with (needed-for-boot #f) have been filtered out). Therefore, the 
normal boot process breaks.

Possible fixes:
- If (check? #t) but (needed-for-boot? #f), include the tool anyway, XOR
- If (check? #t) but (needed-for-boot? #f), don't check anyway

This can be reproduced for example by connecting an USB flash storage stick 
with a filesystem with a type on it that's not used in any other file-system 
declaration.

NB: If (check? #t) and (needed-for-boot? #t), everything works fine.

For all these, (mount? #t) (the default).

This is on Guix master from a few minutes ago.
