guix: self: Use guile with libgc-7.
Rather than libgc version 8. This should avoid crashes that can occur, particularly when loading data in to the Guix Data Service [1]. 1: https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=40525 * gnu/packages/guile.scm (guile-3.0/libgc-7): New variable. * guix/self.scm (specification->package): Use guile-3.0/libgc-7 for guile.
