Hello,

I noticed that Emacs packages from the user's profile leak into guix
environment calls.

For example, when I run

    $ guix environment --pure --ad-hoc emacs -- emacs -q

load-path contains the Emacs packages from my main profile.

I expected it to use GUIX_ENVIRONMENT instead (something like the patch
below, I think).

Does guix-emacs-autoload-packages ignore GUIX_ENVIRONMENT by design?  I
suppose one downside of honoring GUIX_ENVIRONMENT is that, if the --pure
flag isn't passed and the package arguments aren't Emacs-related, a user
may be surprised that their Emacs packages are no longer available in
newly created Emacs instances.

Thanks.
