locate: Do not return the system database when it is too old.
Fixes a bug whereby ‘guix locate’ would pick the system database, then
decide it’s too old, try to update it, and fail because it’s not
writable by unprivileged users.

Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/66612>.

* guix/scripts/locate.scm (file-age): New procedure.
(suitable-database): Add ‘age-update-threshold’ parameter and honor it.
(guix-locate): Remove ‘file-age’.  Pass ‘age-update-threshold’ to the
‘database’ option.
