system: Modify GDB skeleton to find debug files for any profile.
Instead of hard coding the debug directory to that of the user profile, use Guile scripting in combination with a new search path specification on GDB to specify the debug file directories. * gnu/packages/gdb.scm (gdb-9.1): Add a search path specification for the GDB_DEBUG_FILE_DIRECTORY environment variable. * gnu/system/shadow.scm (default-skeletons)[gdbinit]: Derive the value of DEBUG-FILE-DIRECTORY via the GDB_DEBUG_FILE_DIRECTORY environment variable. * doc/guix.texi (Installing Debugging Files): Document it.
