I realized this will source /etc/profile twice when bash is invoked as
'bash -l -c foo', which isn't great.  It also assumes /etc/profile
exists at all, which might not hold true e.g. in a container.

The main motivation for this commit is to make things like
'git-receive-pack', 'rsync' etc work out-of-the-box when installed in
a user profile.  The test for `cat` was ineffective on OpenSSH since it
has a default PATH set to "/run/current-system/profile/bin".

I've tested adding ~/.guix-profile/bin to the compiled-in default
OpenSSH PATH instead, and it works.  WDYT of this series?
