Declare nonguix as a channel dependency in .guix-channel

metznet/machines/otto.scm uses (nongnu packages mozilla), but guix pull
builds this channel's own modules in isolation unless a dependency is
declared, so that module came up as "no code for module" too. Declare
nonguix using the same introduction already used in channels.d/nonguix.scm.
