Use *unspecified* as a marker for field values that have not been set.
Rationale: 'disabled may easily clash with user values for boolean fields, is
confusing (i.e. its meaning is *not* boolean false, but unspecified) and it
also passes silently through the symbol? predicate of a field of type symbol.

Renamed from configuration-no-default-value.
(define-maybe-helper): Use *unspecified* instead of 'disabled, and make
the default value optional.

This addresses a potential security issue, where a compromised
service could trick the activation code in changing the permissions,
owner and group of arbitrary files. However, this patch is
currently only a partial fix, due to a TOCTTOU (time-of-check to
time-of-use) race, which can be fixed once guile has bindings
to openat and friends.
Fixes: <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2021-01/msg00388.html>
* gnu/build/activation.scm: new procedure 'mkdir-p/perms'.
