offload: Increase default 'overload-threshold' value.
When offloading to a single machine, the previous default value would
lead 'guix offload' to wait possibly for several minutes between
subsequent builds until normalized load would finally go below 0.6.
Increasing it mitigates that.

to 0.8.

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.
