[bug#69743] [PATCH] update grimshot package definition

[Ignas Lapėnas]

Hi, this is a first patch for me. Just to be clear, I'm still a newb
with Guix and Guile. All feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank You :)

This part was not written by me. Last package definition version had a
chdir to the contrib directory step, to correctly copy over required
files. Since now the contrib directory is directly downloaded from
github it was no longer necessary. (that was the part removed)

While running the ./pre-inst-env to check if the package still works
correctly, I had an error that grim was not found. After a quick read on
the manual, noticed that propogated inputs actually copy it over.
It seems that my mistake is probably due to not updating this part.

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
(add-after 'chdir 'patch-script-dependencies
#+END_EXAMPLE

since chdir stage was removed it might have possibly skipped other steps
altogether. I'll look into it some more how it works exactly and try to
provide a new patch.
