build: Produce (guix config) instead of using compile-time tricks.

* guix/config.scm.in: New file.
* guix/utils.scm: Use it.
  (%libgcrypt): Remove.
  (%nixpkgs-directory): Don't capture the compile-time $NIXPKGS; use
  %NIXPKGS instead.
  (nixpkgs-derivation): Use %NIX-INSTANTIATE.
* pre-inst-env.in (NIX_INSTANTIATE, NIXPKGS, LIBGCRYPT): Remove.

* configure.ac: Emit `guix/config.scm'.
* Makefile.am (GOBJECTS): Add `guix/config.go'.
  (nobase_nodist_guilemodule_DATA): Add `guix/config.scm'.
