What should be the use of pulling guix for both root and the user?

If you symlink root's `guix` into e.g. /usr/local/bin, all users can use
root's version:

ln -s /var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/guix-profile/bin/guix
/usr/local/bin/guix

This is described in
https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/guix.html#Binary-Installation
number 6.
