ui: 'load*' no longer fails on Guile 2.2.3 upon EACCES or similar.
Previously, if ~/.cache was not write-accessible, 'guix' would exit with code 1 without printing any message. That was because the 'make-stack' call would fail since the exception (a 'system-error) came from 'compile-file', which was called at a point where TAG wasn't installed yet. Secondly, to mimick auto-compilation behavior, we just swallow 'system-error raised by 'compile-file'. Reported by Clément Lassieur. * guix/ui.scm (load*): Move 'compile-file' call in the dynamic extent of TAG. Catch 'system-error around it and ignore it.
