services: configuration: Step back from *unspecified*.
Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/56799>. This partially reverts 8cb1a49a3998c39f315a4199b7d4a121a6d66449. Rationale: *unspecified* cannot be serialized thus used as a G-Expression input, which is problematic/inconvenient when using deeply nested records. As an example, jami-service-type was broken when using partially defined <jami-account> records. * gnu/services/configuration.scm (define-maybe-helper): Check against the 'unset symbol. (normalize-field-type+def): Adjust value to 'unset. (define-configuration-helper): Use 'unset as the default value thunk. * gnu/services/file-sharing.scm (serialize-maybe-string): Check against the 'unset symbol. (serialize-maybe-file-object): Likewise. * gnu/services/messaging.scm (define-all-configurations): Use 'unset as value. (raw-content?): Check against 'unset symbol. (prosody-configuration)[http-max-content-size]: Default to 'unset. [http-external-url]: Likewise. [mod-muc]: Likewise. [raw-content]: Likewise. * gnu/services/networking.scm (opendht-configuration): Adjust documentation. * gnu/services/telephony.scm (jami-shepherd-services): Replace *undefined* with the 'unset symbol. * tests/services/configuration.scm ("maybe type, no default"): Check against the 'unset symbol. * doc/guix.texi: Regenerate the opendht-configuration, openvpn-client-configuration and openvpn-server-configuration documentation.
