[bug#51428] [PATCH core-update-frozen 16/20] build: glib-or-gtk: Generate the gdk-pixbuf-loaders cache file in a phase.

[Maxim Cournoyer]

Adding a profile hook to do so covers most use cases, but it is still
necessary to have the gdk-pixbuf loaders cache file computed at build time, as
software may expect to find loaders support at that time.

* guix/build/glib-or-gtk-build-system.scm: Delete trailing #t.
(%gdk-pixbuf-loaders-cache-file-prefix): New variable.
(generate-gdk-pixbuf-loaders-cache): New procedure.
(generate-gdk-pixbuf-loaders-cache-file): Add procedure...
(%standard-phases): ... and register it as a build phase.
