tests: Fork and exec a new Guile for the marionette REPL.

By merely forking PID 1, details from PID 1 (shepherd) would leak into
the marionette process, such as the set of modules in scope and state
inherited from the shepherd process (<service> instances, fibers,
etc.).  Running a fresh Guile instance avoids that.

* gnu/tests.scm (marionette-program): New procedure.
(marionette-shepherd-service): Change 'start' to use
'make-forkexec-constructor', and run the result of 'marionette-program'.
