[bug#74290] [PATCH 04/31] gnu: gcc: Add indirections current-gcc, current-gcc-toolchain.

[Janneke Nieuwenhuizen <janneke@gnu.org>]

Throughout: use (current-gcc) and (current-gcc-toolchain) instead of gcc and
gcc-toolchain.

* gnu/packages/gcc.scm (current-gcc): New procedure.
(gcc): Deprecate.
* gnu/packages/commencement.scm (current-gcc-toolchain): New procedure.
(gcc-toolchain): Deprecate.
