profiles: Implicitly set GUIX_EXTENSIONS_PATH.

* guix/build/profiles.scm (manifest-sexp->inputs+search-paths):
Always return a search path for GUIX_EXTENSIONS_PATH.
* guix/search-paths.scm ($GUIX_EXTENSIONS_PATH): New variable.

This allows Guix to find extensions without any need for users to
set GUIX_EXTENSIONS_PATH manually.

;; Like 'PATH', it's not attached to any package, so that users don't have
;; to install the 'guix' package (which is not supposed to be installed,
;; as it will mess up the 'guix pull' installation) or set the variable
;; manually.
