[PATCH] HACKING: Use .guix.scm in 'guix environment' snippet

[Kyle Meyer]

* HACKING (Development environment): Simplify the 'guix environment'
snippet by passing the existing .guix.scm to --load rather than
manually listing inputs.

Aside from being less of a mouthful, an advantage of doing this is
that the inputs need to be maintained in only a single spot, avoiding
the list in HACKING becoming stale (as is the case right now because
guile-gcrypt and guile-pfds are missing).  The downside to using
.guix.scm is that it will also bring in texlive-tiny and graphviz,
which are required only for 'make distcheck'.

Sorry, I forgot my trailing period in the subject line.  Too many style
conventions to keep track of across projects :/  If a reroll isn't
needed for other reasons, please add it while applying.
