system: Add a 'system?' field to user accounts.
* gnu/system/shadow.scm (<user-account>)[system?]: New field. * gnu/system.scm (user-account->gexp): Add it. * guix/build/activation.scm (add-user): Add #:system? parameter and honor it. (activate-users+groups): Handle the 'system?' part of user tuples. Pass it to 'add-user'. Don't create PROFILE-DIR when SYSTEM? is true. * gnu/services/dbus.scm (dbus-service): Add 'system?' field for "messagebus" account. * gnu/services/base.scm (guix-build-accounts): Likewise. * gnu/services/avahi.scm (avahi-service): Likewise.
