bug#70153: Command "guix show PACKAGE" should also show installed version

Okay, here's what happened: 1. I found a bug in Guix that I wanted to report. 2. I checked the manual, which directed me to https://issues.guix.gnu.org/. 3. That page directed me to "submit your patches or email bug-guix@gnu.org to open a new issue." There were no further instructions, so I
