Reworked this, patched Zig to search dynamic linker in CROSS_LIBRARY_PATH or
LIBRARY_PATH (added in the use-system-paths patch), no extra environment
variable introduced now.

Moved zig-target and zig-build-system's configure phase to (guix build
zig-utils) to avoid dependency issue, as building Zig now uses them too.

Removed nonfree files (IETF RFC documents) from Zig source.
