guix: Adjust environment setup so extensions are located without propagating Guix.

2026-08-21T14:00:22+00:00

extension.

Setup GUIX_EXTENSIONS_PATH to locate extensions in profiles that do not
contain Guix.

system: operating-system-etc-service: Unset GUIX_PROFILE.

2026-01-04T11:13:29+00:00

This seems to have been omitted, currently users on default Guix System
installations do have GUIX_PROFILE set to their ~/.config/guix/current.
This is wrong and can lead to some surprises when sourcing etc/profile
of a Guix profile.

Followup of 50a2d73eac1577e35b526d3fc91423b97e581aef.

* gnu/system.scm (operating-system-etc-services): Clean up GUIX_PROFILE.
