services: zabbix: Don't write user to configuration file.
The service already runs with the specified user and group, so there is no use

setting, but also to document the correct data type for the "group" setting.

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

(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".
