system: Modify GDB skeleton to find debug files for any profile.
Instead of hard coding the debug directory to that of the user profile, use
Guile scripting in combination with a new search path specification on GDB to
specify the debug file directories.

* gnu/packages/gdb.scm (gdb-9.1): Add a search path specification for the
GDB_DEBUG_FILE_DIRECTORY environment variable.
* gnu/system/shadow.scm (default-skeletons)[gdbinit]: Derive the value of
DEBUG-FILE-DIRECTORY via the GDB_DEBUG_FILE_DIRECTORY environment variable.
* doc/guix.texi (Installing Debugging Files): Document it.

"GDB is the GNU debugger. With it, you can monitor what a program is
doing while it runs or what it was doing just before a crash. It allows you
to specify the runtime conditions, to define breakpoints, and to change how
the program is running to try to fix bugs. It can be used to debug programs
written in C, C++, Ada, Objective-C, Pascal and more.")
