installer: Fix configuration edition during testing.
When the configuration is edited, it looks like there are some leftover fragments from the input configuration: Example content of config.scm after edition: #:imported-modules '((gnu services herd) (guix build utils) (guix combinators))) unted". The unique ;; file system identifiers there ("UUIDs") can be obtained ;; by running 'blkid' in a terminal. ... This is strange because call-with-output-file uses the O_TRUNC flag which resets the file size to zero. Remove the configuration file before writing it as a work-around. * gnu/installer/tests.scm (edit-configuration-file): Remove the configuration file before re-writing it.
