[bug#62222] [PATCH] ui: format 'display-hint' output when no arguments are passed.

[Antero Mejr via Guix-patches via]

When display-hint is given format specifiers such as "~%" but no arguments,
it does not format the output, causing the specifiers to be visible in the
displayed text.

* guix/ui.scm (display-hint): Format output when no arguments are passed.
---
Steps to reproduce the issue this fixes:
$ guix build -s whatever hello

guix build: error: 'whatever' is not a supported system
hint: Try `--list-systems' to view available system types.~%

Oops, good catch!  Applied, thanks.
