system: install: Always use 'current-guix'.

Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/53210>.
Reported by Mathieu Othacehe <othacehe@gnu.org>.

* gnu/system/install.scm (%installation-services): Set 'guix' to
use (current-guix) in 'guix-configuration'.
* gnu/system/examples/vm-image.tmpl: Likewise.
* gnu/tests/install.scm (operating-system-with-current-guix): Remove.
(run-install, installation-os-for-gui-tests): Remove its uses.
* Makefile.am (release): Remove intermediate use of
'update-guix-package.scm' and subsequent 'git commit' invocation.
