bug#36543: [PATCH] gnu: wireservice: New wireservice-package macro.

I think it looks good this way!

There’s a bit of code bloat because the macro expands the ‘arguments’
field for every package, but it doesn’t matter much here (it’d be more
of a problem if we had 100s of packages all duplicating that field.)

Yup!  :-)

Applied, thanks for the quick followup!
