Subject: [emacs-guix] elisp: Change guix-set-emacs-environment to use local
 variables.
Date: Wed, 22 Jan 2025 09:30:58 +0100

This changes the semantics of "guix-set-emacs-environment" and that's
probably what one would expect.  Keeping old functionality as
"guix-set-emacs-environment-global".

* elisp/guix-misc.el (guix-set-emacs-environment): Rename to...:
(guix-set-emacs-environment-global): ...this.
(guix-set-emacs-environment): New procedure setting a buffer-local environment.
* doc/emacs-guix.texi (Miscellaneous Commands): Update accordingly.
Add hint about "emacs-envrc".
