Subject: [PATCH] gnu: emacs-magit: Drop the libgit backend.

Drop the libgit backend for following reasons:

1. The libgit backend of Magitis very incomplete. There's almost no benefits,
but extra maintenance efforts.

2. The libgit backend of Magit can be considered as an extra package. And it's
still in Proof-Of-Concept status so its quaility doesn't satifised the
requirement of Guix package.

* gnu/packages/emacs-xyz.scm (emacs-magit)[arguments]: Use G-expressions.
<emacs>: Remove this argument.
<exclude>: Exclude the magit-libgit.el and magit-libgit-pkg.el.
<phases>: In phase 'patch-exec-paths', use search-input-file for perl
executable.

[inputs]: Remove emacs-libgit.
