describe: Try harder to find the ‘guix pull’ profile.
Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/66705>.

The strategy used by ‘current-profile’ so far would fail to find the
right profile (the one created by ‘guix pull’ or ‘guix time-machine’) in
cases where said profile is itself included in another profile.  This
happens, for instance, when running ‘guix shell -CW -- guix describe’,
which, as a result, would display nothing but the ‘guix’ channel.

This patch fixes that by having ‘current-profile’ not just check for the
presence of a ‘manifest’ file but also parse it to determine whether
it’s a ‘guix pull’ kind of manifest.

* guix/describe.scm (find-profile): New procedure.
(current-profile): Adjust to use it.

;;; Commentary:
;;;
;;; This module provides supporting code to allow a Guix instance to find, at
;;; run time, which profile it's in (profiles created by 'guix pull'). That
;;; allows it to read meta-information about itself (e.g., repository URL and
;;; commit ID) and to find other channels available in the same profile. It's
;;; a bit like ELPA's pkg-info.el.
;;;
;;; Code:

;; 'guix' program, even if 'guix repl -s' calls 'set-program-arguments'
