It seems this is already set by Guix Home?

My currently $PATH with this change:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
/home/hako/.guix-home/profile/bin
/home/hako/.guix-home/profile/sbin
/run/privileged/bin
/home/hako/.config/guix/current/bin
/home/hako/.guix-home/profile/bin
/home/hako/.guix-home/profile/sbin
/home/hako/.guix-profile/bin
/run/current-system/profile/bin
/run/current-system/profile/sbin
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The first two entries are prepended by ~/.guix-home/setup-environment:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
GUIX_PROFILE="$HOME_ENVIRONMENT/profile"
PROFILE_FILE="$GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile"
[ -f $PROFILE_FILE ] && . $PROFILE_FILE
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I think we should either don't set PATH in Guix Home (how about foreign
distros?), or revert this commit and prepend /run/privileged/bin in Guix Home.

BTW I think ~/.guix-profile can be ordered before ~/.guix-home so that it's
imperative profiles first, and declarative profiles second.

WDYT?
