environment: Fix '--emulate-fhs' option overriding $PATH.
Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/60566> where even if "--preserve='^PATH$'"
was passed to 'guix shell' it would be replaced by just the FHS directories
when '--emulate-fhs' was also set.

* gnu/scripts/environment.scm (launch-environment): Add the FHS directories to
$PATH rather than overriding $PATH completely.
* tests/guix-environment-container.sh: Test that FHS directories are in $PATH
in the container and that $PATH can be preserved.
