[bug#70132] [PATCH 05/11] channels: Autoload (git …) modules.

[Ludovic Courtès]

Autoloading Guile-Git is important in cases where (guix channels) is
used for little more than the <channel> definition.  This is the case,
for example, of ‘guix describe’ or ‘guix shell’.

This reduces from 177 to 121 the number of .go files loaded when
running:

  ./pre-inst-env strace -e openat -o /tmp/log.strace \
     guix describe -p /var/guix/profiles/per-user/$USER/current-guix
  grep 'openat.*\.go.* = [0-9]' < /tmp/log.strace |wc -l

Likewise, it reduces the max RSS (as measured by ‘time -f %M guix
describe -p …’) from 54 to 37 MiB.

* guix/channels.scm: Autoload (git …) modules.
