Prior to this change, wrappers did set the specified environment variables to
a fixed value, overwriting any user settings. This inhibited propagating
e.g. XDG_DATA_DIRS from a profile to the application.

Now user environment variables are prefixed (if the variable defines some
"binary" search path, e.g. QT_PLUGIN_PATH) or suffixed (if the variable
defines some config or data search path, e.g. XDG_DATA_DIRS). The code could
also allow to overwrite, anyhow currently no variable is defined like this.

* guix/build/qt-build-system.scm (variables-for-wrapping): For each env-var to
  be wrapped, specify whether it should prefix, suffix or overwrite the
  user's variable.

Good work! I think this can help solve #45193[1].

And there're still some issues I mentioned in that issues.

1. We may need to fix `wrap-qt-program` in qt-utils.scm. It's
implementation is quite weird(See my reply in [1]). Or we can remove
this function and make package use

  (assoc-ref qt-build-system:%standard-phases 'qt-wrap)

instead.

2. We should search directories in outputs, now we just search all
inputs. Some Qt programs were deployed with a bundle of Qt plugins in
their prefix. If we miss these dirs, they won't run.
