Subject: [PATCH] guix-install.sh: remove unnecessary XDG_DATA_DIRS export.

This started out as a bug-fix for a GUI login loop that was resulting from XDG_DATA_DIRS
not including any of the host distro's directories. The solution was to export the vari-
able (with fail-safe defaults) before source-ing GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile. It turns out
changes have already been made to ensure that XDG_DATA_DIRS, etc. are always exported
before anything guix-specific. So, this export is no longer necessary.

For reference, the aforementioned bug was found on a Debian 11 machine and it's guix.sh
init profile for guix version 1.2.
