services: zabbix: Don't write user to configuration file.
The service already runs with the specified user and group, so there is no use
in writing it to the configuration files.  This change is mainly done for
compatibility with 'zabbix-agent2' which does not understand the User=
setting, but also to document the correct data type for the "group" setting.

* gnu/services/monitoring.scm (serialize-string): Filter USER and GROUP
fields.

gnu: bootloader: Rework chaining, add grub-efi-netboot-removable-bootloader.
This rework allows to use an (efi-bootloader-chain) like this, which is able
to boot over network or local storage, depending on whether the bootloader
target has support for symbolic links:

   (operating-system
    (bootloader
      (bootloader-configuration
        (bootloader
          (efi-bootloader-chain
            grub-efi-netboot-removable-bootloader
            #:packages (list my-firmware-package
                             my-u-boot-package)
            #:files (list (plain-file "config.txt"
                                      "kernel=u-boot.bin"))
            #:hooks my-special-bootloader-profile-manipulator))
        (targets '("/booti/efi"))
        …))
    …)

* doc/guix.texi (Bootloader Configuration): Describe the new
‘grub-efi-netboot-removable-bootloader’.  Mention the file names used and that
the UEFI Boot Manager is not modified.  Advise to disable write-access over
TFTP.
* gnu/bootloader.scm (efi-bootloader-profile): Allow a list of packages and
collect everything directly in the profile, avoiding a separate collection
directory.  Renamed the profile from "bootloader-profile" to
"efi-bootloader-profile".
[bootloader-collection]: Rename to...
[efi-bootloader-profile-hook]: ... this and remove unused modules.  Do not
create the now extraneous collection directory.
(efi-bootloader-chain): Add PACKAGES and DISK-IMAGE-INSTALLER arguments.
Remove handling of the collection directory, now only calling the given
installer procedure.
* gnu/bootloader/grub.scm (make-grub-efi-netboot-installer): New helper.
(make-grub-configuration): New helper based on (grub-configuration-file).  Add
a GRUB argument, fix indentation, remove previous code retrieving GRUB from
CONFIG.
(grub-configuration-file): Make use of make-grub-configuration.
(grub-efi-configuration-file): New procedure.
(grub-cfg): New variable to replace "/boot/grub/grub.cfg".
(install-grub-efi-netboot): Remove, splitting logic to...
(make-grub-efi-netboot-installer): ... this new helper procedure, as well as
to make-grub-efi-netboot, added below.
(grub-bootloader): Adjust to use the GRUB-CFG.
(grub-efi-bootloader): Likewise.  Removed inheritance and declare all fields
explicitly.
(make-grub-efi-netboot-bootloader): New procedure.
(grub-efi-netboot-bootloader): Use it.

doc: Remove unimplemented 'herd rules udev'.
Since this text was added, the rules.d directory is now exposed
straightforwardly via the standard /etc/udev/rules.d directory, so there's no

offload: Increase default 'overload-threshold' value.

services: configuration: Revert to a working ‘guix home’.
This reverts commit 543d971ed2, and
its dependent commit 9b21cd2e9a, which
appear to have triggered a recent wave of ‘guix home’ regressions
involving (services (list (service home-bash-service-type))):

In gnu/home/services/shells.scm:
    504:7  3 (home-bash-extensions #<<home-bash-configuration> package: #<package bash@5.1.8 gnu/packages/ba…> …)
In unknown file:
           2 (append #<<location> file: "…" line: 14 column: 12> ())
In ice-9/boot-9.scm:
  1685:16  1 (raise-exception _ #:continuable? _)
  1685:16  0 (raise-exception _ #:continuable? _)

ice-9/boot-9.scm:1685:16: In procedure raise-exception:
In procedure append: Wrong type argument in position 1 (expecting empty list): #<<location> file: "…" line: 14 column: 12>

I should love to dive in & fix this rather than revert, but urgently
need sleep.
