[bug#50419] [PATCH 1/2] gnu: racket: fix `raco exe` with non-minimal Racket

[Philip McGrath]

This commit backports an upstream repair for a bug exposed by Guix's
change in Racket 8.2 to make the `racket` package a layered/tethered
installation that chains to the `racket-minimal` package. When using a
layered/tethered installation, the `setup/variant` library would fail to
recognize the default Racet variant (CS, 3M, or CGC), leading to
confusing failures from `raco exe`, `create-embedding-executable`, and
other clients.

For further details, see <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/50118> and
<https://github.com/racket/racket/issues/3969>.

* gnu/packages/patches/racket-minimal-backport-1629887.patch: New file.
* gnu/local.mk (dist_patch_DATA): Add it.
* gnu/packages/racket.scm (racket-minimal)[source]: Use it.

[bug#50419] [PATCH 2/2] gnu: racket: suppress build stamp

[Philip McGrath]

The `build-stamp` configuration key should generally be set to an empty
string for a release build. The automatically inferred build stamp is
especially unhelpful with Guix, since it ends up being the Unix epoch.

* gnu/packages/racket.scm (racket-minimal)[arguments]: Adjust the
'initialize-config.rktd phase to set 'build-stamp to "".
