[bug#74633] [PATCH] ui: Search channels for guix extensions

[Brian Kubisiak]

* guix/describe.scm (add-channels-to-load-path!): New function.
* gnu/packages.scm (%package-module-path): Call new function. Remove
the code that the function call replaces.
* guix/ui.scm (extension-directories): Call new function. Search
channels for guix extensions.
* guix/self.scm (compiled-guix)[*core-modules*]: Add 'guile-git' to
the list of extensions.
