Subject: [PATCH 5/9] guix-install.sh: Improve Guix profile sourcing.

From: Liam Hupfer <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 5 Feb 2025 22:25:01 -0600

Make both profiles use GUIX_PROFILE and reorder some code so each
profile is handled in one contiguous block.  The user’s profile now
takes precedence over the ‘guix pull’ profile on INFOPATH.  If the user
already has an info reader in their Guix profile, don’t add a duplicate
entry to INFOPATH.  If the user doesn’t have an imperative
~/.guix-profile (i.e. they manage software with Guix Home and ‘guix
shell’), don’t add an unnecessary entry to INFOPATH.  Clean up after
ourselves by unsetting the temporary GUIX_PROFILE variable, which only
needs to be set when sourcing.

* etc/guix-install.sh (sys_create_init_profile): Improve Guix profile
sourcing.
