Stop generating ‘fonts-dir’ directories |

Hello.
Currently Guix attempts to ‘merge’ font packages which install themselves into
the same file path by generating ‘…-fonts-dir’ directories with symbolic links
and combined fonts.dir files.
Needless to say, it is completely broken. The X.org server has not been
following symbolic links to font files for some time now for security reasons.
This is the kind of hack required currently to make X server fonts work:
XFONTDIRS="$(realpath -z ~/.guix-profile/share/fonts/X11/*/!(fonts.dir) | sed
's:[^/]*\x00:\x00:g' | sort -zu | tr '\0' ,)"
There appears to be simply no way to fix the current approach. The X server
will not follow symbolic links. So there is not point in generating these font
directories.
