* guix/ui.scm (extension-directories): Add channel directories to load path,
compiled load path, and returned list of directories.

This patch allows extensions in channels to be found by the Guix
CLI. Most notably, this means that a script can define commands by
defining an appropriate (guix scripts X) module, with a guix-X
function.

This is a slight modification to a diff that Ludovic sent through IRC.

I've tested that it works when I use "guix time-machine". Guix is able
to find a command that I define in a channel.

I haven't specifically tested that it finds commands when run through
"guix pull", but I have tested that this change does not break "guix
pull".
