gnu: guix: Fix cross-compilation.
Fixes a regression introduced in
59587e2fda76c19b424fda9a987ff90d52ef217e where ./configure would fail
when cross-compiling with “Git is missing”.

Reported by gabber on #guix.

* gnu/packages/package-management.scm (guix)[arguments]: Add
‘ac_cv_path_GIT’ to #:configure-flags.
