guix package: '--search-paths' can report combined search paths.
Partly fixes <http://bugs.gnu.org/20255>.
* guix/scripts/package.scm (search-path-environment-variables): Change
'profile' to 'profiles'; expect it to be a list.
(display-search-paths): Likewise.
(%default-options): Remove 'profile' entry.
(%options) <--profile>: Keep previous values associated with 'profile'
in RESULT.
(guix-package)[process-actions, process-query]: Handle the possible
lack of 'profile' pair in OPTS.
