guix: Record precious directories and add guix-clean
Many users have reported problems that stem from having an unclean
working tree. To that end, I've written a guix-clean script which should
help reset the working tree while respecting user-specified precious
directories.
Precious directories, such as:
- SOURCES_PATH
- BASE_CACHE
- SDK_PATH
- OUTDIR
Should be preserved when cleaning the working tree, and are thus
recorded in ./contrib/guix/var/precious_dirs.
The ./contrib/guix/guix-clean script is able to parse that file and make
sure to avoid them when cleaning out the working tree.

By registering the container profiles as garbage collector roots, it
will prevent `guix gc` from garbage collecting derivations which our
container needs and inconvieniencing the user with a rebuild.
