Suggestion for installation WIKI

I would suggest to run

pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring

before running pacstrap.

Otherwise one may get package verification errors if installation media is not fresh.
Or it could be mentioned for case when such errors appears

I would really rather not get people in the habit of using -Sy right away. Seems like a recipe for disaster.

Alternatively one could add that after establishing the internet connection one should ensure that archlinux-keyring-wkd-sync.service has successfully ran.
