I have a PR up to add GUIX_LUA_PATH and GUIX_LUA_CPATH in a way that is
compatible with search paths: https://codeberg.org/guix/guix/pulls/2796

There's some complexity here, because LUA_PATH is not a standard search
path, it has values like "/path/to/wherever/?.lua" where the "?" is
replaced with the module that's trying to be loaded.

If we want to have Lua libraries work in Guix profiles, I think we'll
need to merge something like this PR.
