services: hurd-vm: Disable password-based authentication for root.

With offloading to a childhurd is enabled, allowing password-less root
login in the childhurd to anyone amounts to providing write access to
the host’s store to anyone.  Thus, disable password-based root logins in
the childhurd.

* gnu/services/virtualization.scm (%hurd-vm-operating-system): Change
‘permit-root-login’ to 'prohibit-password.
* gnu/tests/virtualization.scm (%childhurd-os): Provide a custom ‘os’
field for ‘hurd-vm-configuration’.
* doc/guix.texi (Virtualization Services): Remove mention of
password-less root login.

The default configuration (see @code{hurd-vm-configuration} below)
spawns a secure shell (SSH) server in your GNU/Hurd system, which QEMU
(the virtual machine emulator) redirects to port 10222 on the host.
Thus, you can connect over SSH to the childhurd with:
@example
ssh root@@localhost -p 10022
@end example
The childhurd is volatile and stateless: it starts with a fresh root
file system every time you restart it. By default though, all the files
