system: <operating-system> compiler truly honors the 'system' argument.

Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/55951>.

* gnu/system.scm (operating-system-compiler): Parameterize
'%current-system' and '%current-target-system' before calling
'operating-system-derivation'.
* tests/system.scm ("lower-object, %current-system sensitivity"): New
test.
