[bug#54357] [PATCH] gnu: kakoune: Clean up, and add a search path that makes it possible to package kak plugins in guix. (Plugins incoming soon.)

[(unmatched-parenthesis]

* gnu/packages/text-editors.scm(kakoune): Remove the redundant `#t`s, and add a 
$GUIX_KAKOUNE_CONFIG_DIRS search path.

While trying to package a kak plugin, I realized that the kak package itself 
was missing a
search path. However, kak appears to allow only one config path, so I inject a 
for loop into
the default kakrc (with a hacky substitute* because i cannot be bothered 
preparing a path :)
which enumerates the paths in $GUIX_KAKOUNE_CONFIG_DIRS and sources all their 
kakfiles.

I'll send in a few plugins in a moment. These will act as both examples of the 
search path
working and of course useful packages in themselves.

I also took the opportunity to clean the package up a little, removing the now 
unneccesary
`#t`s returned at the end of each phase. I was going to change it to use git 
instead of 
github release tarballs too (I'm told that git clones are better because of 
Software Heritage), 
but I'm hesitant to make that change without checking first.
