If $XDG_DATA_DIRS is unset, default value of "/usr/local/share:/usr/share"
is used according to XDG Base Directory Specification. However,
/etc/profile.d/guix.sh treats this value as empty list when appending its
own directory, so after installing Guix on the system, launchers such
as Rofi stop searching for .desktop files in /usr/share/applications/
and can't launch applications other than those installed with Guix.

This patch fixes the bug in generated /etc/profile.d/guix.sh

* etc/guix-install.sh (sys_create_init_profile): Use default value of
  /usr/local/share:/usr/share/ before appending if $XDG_DATA_DIRS is not
  set.
