    services: guix: Support declarative offloading setup.
    
    * gnu/services/base.scm (guix-machines-files-installation): New
    procedure.
    (<guix-configuration>)[build-machines]: New field.
    (guix-activation): Call ‘ guix-machines-files-installation’.
    (<guix-extension>)[build-machines]: New field.
    (guix-extension-merge): Handle it.
    (guix-service-type)[extend]: Likewise.
    * doc/guix.texi (Daemon Offload Setup): Add note linking to
    ‘guix-configuration’.
    (Base Services): Document ‘build-machines’ field of <guix-configuration>
    and of <guix-extension>.
    (Virtualization Services): Add ‘hurd-vm’ anchor.
