(cherry picked from commit 42fee36)
guix has recently announced a security vulnerability that allows
local users to gain priveleges of build users, and further manipulate
output of any build (including with setguid).

This commit fixes the issue by backporting the remediation commits pushed to
guix main to 1.4.0 as a patch.

Users will still have to reboot and follow other remediation steps as
described in the guix blogpost.
