Sincere thanks to paren, T G-R

I came to this idea because when I check:

  guix pull --news --details

then it shows me the new and updated packages.

And today there was:

guix 1.3.0-32.682639c

besides

  icedove-wayland@102.4.1,icedove@102.4.1, keepassxc@2.7.3, 
komikku@1.2.0, linux-libre-bpf@5.19.17 etc.

When icedove@102.4.1 shows the new version, which can be installed,
so I guessed that the new guix version can also be shown through a command.
