  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.
  ```
