gnu: plocate: Build with "--sharedstatedir=/var".
Current plocate package sets the --sharedstatedir to a store directory, which
causes updatedb and plocate to fail by default since the store is immutable.
This will set the default database path to /var/cache/plocate.db instead.

* gnu/packages/search.scm (plocate): Change build options.
