The previous `guix gc` configuration used to clear out derivations and
outputs of live profiles, which makes it a lot less convenient when
using `guix gc` to clear out old files, since you often have to
download them repeatedly. Add `guix-daemon` options to use options to
keep derivations and outputs of live profiles.

`guix gc` will clear out less files. If you want to reclaim more
space, you'll have to first delete old profiles.

It was on my mind for years!)  Also, I know a few people, who even
modified the feature locally to support this.  Thank you very much for
making it "official"! :)

Marking as APPLIED.
