Guix shell now inside Emacs

The author contributed a guix-shell integration to the emacs-guix package, allowing Emacs users to activate Guix shell environments directly within Emacs via M-x guix-shell instead of launching Emacs from the command line. This enables seamless project-specific dependency management using Guix manifest.scm files without leaving the editor.

Background

GNU Guix is a functional package manager and GNU distribution that uses Guile Scheme for package definitions. The emacs-guix package provides Guix integration within Emacs, and this contribution adds shell environment activation directly inside the editor.
