gnu: vm: Add support for running a VM that shares its store with the host.

* gnu/system/vm.scm (qemu-image): Check whether GUIX is #f.
  (operating-system-build-gid, operating-system-default-contents): New
  procedures.
  (system-qemu-image): Use 'operating-system-build-gid'.
  (system-qemu-image/shared-store,
  system-qemu-image/shared-store-script): New procedures.
* gnu/system.scm: Add missing exports.
