bug#68948: temp fix

The following workaround can be used,
```
HLDIRS=$(guix build highlight); # returns two directories
HLDIR="${HLDIRS##*[[:space:]]}"; # returns the second dir, after whitespace
DATADIR="$HLDIR/etc/highlight/";
echo "(highlight (package bug))" | highlight --data-dir=$DATADIR -O xterm256 
--syntax lisp
```

Based on my understanding, the current package definition is correct. Possibly 
a patch like this could resolve the issue the current package definition seems 
correct.
