guix gc: '--delete-generations' now deletes old Home generations.

Previously, 'guix gc -d4m' would ignore Home generations.  With this
change, they are treated like profiles and generations that match the
pattern are deleted.

* guix/scripts/gc.scm (guix-gc)[delete-generations]: Add call to
'home-generation-base'.
* doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix gc): Document the change.
