Factorization of bashrc is great!

Not sure about moving PS1 to /etc/bashrc as it won't work on foreign
distros and guix environment won't be noticable in the prompt.  Warning
is useful, but I would expect prompt work OOB, when guix-defualts? is
#t.

The possible alternative solution is to factorize bash_profile and put
PS1 here, so both skeleton and home provided bashrc have it, after that
setting PS1 with environment-variables field will start working.
