etc: guix-install.sh: Set XDG_DATA_DIRS.

This allows better integration of packages installed by Guix with the
foreign distro. E.g.:

1. .desktop files from applications installed by Guix can be found by
the user's desktop environment.

2. Fonts installed in ~/.guix-profile/share/fonts can be found by GUI
applications without having to install the fontconfig package, as the
the "Application Setup" section of the manual recommends.

* etc/guix-install.sh (sys_create_init_profile): Add $GUIX_PROFILE/share
to XDG_DATA_DIRS.
