search-paths: Define $SSL_CERT_DIR and $SSL_CERT_FILE. 

For the ‘why’, see the docstring next to $SSL_CERT_DIR.  In later commits,
packages will be changed to use these variables and the variables will be
added to more packages.

* guix/search-paths.scm ($SSL_CERT_DIR, $SSL_CERT_FILE): New variables.
* doc/guix.texi (Search Paths): Document them.

@end table
@end deftp
Some search paths are not tied by a single package but to many packages.
To reduce duplications, some of them are pre-defined in @code{(guix
search-paths)}.
@defvr {Scheme Variable} $SSL_CERT_DIR
@defvrx {Scheme Variable} $SSL_CERT_FILE
These two search paths indicate where X.509 certificates can be found
(@pxref{X.509 Certificates}).
@end defvr
These pre-defined search paths can be used as in the following example:
@lisp
(package
(name "curl")
;; some fields omitted ...
(native-search-paths (list $SSL_CERT_DIR $SSL_CERT_FILE)))
@end lisp
How do you turn search path specifications on one hand and a bunch of
directories on the other hand in a set of environment variable
definitions? That's the job of @code{evaluate-search-paths}.
