bug#33238: Fail nicely when profile is not found

[swedebugia]

Hi

I installed guix from AUR and ran into this:

$ guix pull -l
Backtrace:
            8 (apply-smob/1 #<catch-closure 55dd9a29b6e0>)
In ice-9/boot-9.scm:
     705:2  7 (call-with-prompt _ _ #<procedure default-prompt-handle…>)
In ice-9/eval.scm:
     619:8  6 (_ #(#(#<directory (guile-user) 55dd9a356140>)))

In ice-9/boot-9.scm:

     829:9  2 (catch git-error #<procedure 55dd9b57f640 at guix/scri…> …)
     829:9  1 (catch system-error #<procedure 55dd9acab900 at guix/s…> …)
In unknown file:
            0 (raise #<condition &profile-not-found-error [profile: "…>)

ERROR: In procedure raise:
Wrong type (expecting exact integer): #<condition 
&profile-not-found-error [profile: "/home/egil/.config/guix/current"] 
55dd9ac9a240>

The install went fine but guix is not working :/ so I will do a manual 
binary install instead.

I could try crafting a patch testing if the directory exist if somebody 
is willing to point me to the right file (and perhaps an example of a 
procedure that can check this)

Cheers

The relevant code from pull.scm is this:
