Subject: [bug#43516] [PATCH core-updates] packages: Enable multi-threaded xz compression when repacking source.

The xz compression is slow; using multiple threads/cores yields a linear
performance improvement.
* guix/packages.scm (patch-and-repack): Ensure xz is invoked with --threads=N
by setting the XZ_DEFAULTS environment variable.
