installer: final: Delete SQLite WAL and shm files upon completion.
Previously, db.sqlite-{wal,shm} could be left behind after stopping guix-daemon. When resuming installation, SQLite could end up behaving as if transactions visible in the WAL file had been committed, in spite of having restored SAVED-DATABASE. Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/59784>. Reported by pelzflorian (Florian Pelz) <pelzflorian@pelzflorian.de>. * gnu/installer/final.scm (install-system): Before restarting guix-daemon, delete db.sqlite-{wal,shm}.
