Rather than libgc version 8. This should avoid crashes that can occur,
particularly when loading data in to the Guix Data Service [1].

* gnu/packages/guile.scm (guile-3.0/libgc-7): New variable.
* guix/self.scm (specification->package): Use guile-3.0/libgc-7 for guile.

I went ahead and pushed this to core-updates earlier as
cef392f3936922b7b0b74bd59be67e660c10db67.

It looks to have had the intended effect, the Guix Data Service was able
to process the commit [1] :D

I'll go ahead and mark this bug as done now. Thanks for your help!
