[bug#57324] [PATCH] gnu: julia: update to 1.6.7

[Jean-Baptiste Volatier]

* gnu/packages/julia.scm (julia): Update to 1.6.7

Hello,
This updates julia to 1.6.7. I did not have time to run the full test suite
(and I only have access to x86_64) yet but it seems to run fine.

I also have another WIP variant of this patch that builds against the git
checkout and where the stdlibs are de-vendored and have their own guix packages.
Personally I find it a bit more elegant than the current tarball
release that we are using and its bundled tarballs of out-of-tree dependencies.

If this is of interest I can finish it up and send it. Otherwise I'll 
continue to work on julia 1.8.

Best regards,
JB
