services: Use a fixed GID for the build group and use that for the store.
This partly reverts commit 185f669 ("services: Make sure the store's
group is the build group.")
* gnu/services/base.scm (guix-service)[activate]: Remove 'chown' call.
Add 'id' field to 'user-group' form.
* guix/build/install.scm (directives): Set the store's GID to 30000.
