Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/35942>.

* guix/scripts/package.scm (display-search-paths): Rename to...
(display-search-path-hint): ... this.  Adjust callers.
Remove #:kind parameter.  Replace the list of environment variables with
an invitation to source $GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile or run 'guix package
--search-paths'.
