guix-install.sh: Create an init profile during installation
Create an init profile (/etc/profile.d/guix.sh) during installation for better integration with foreign distros. This file, read by login-shells sets a few environment variables (PATH, GUIX_PROFILE, GUIX_LOCALE, along with XDG_DATA_DIRS) and makes guix-installed packages readily available for the users. Other environment variables, as listed by `guix package --search-paths=prefix`, are also exported. Checks are in place to prevent the init profile from needlessly polluting the user's environment. * etc/guix-install.sh (sys_create_init_profile): New function to create /etc/profile.d/guix.sh init profile.
