services/gnome: Reinstate auto-configuration for GNOME Boxes.

Previously to 4722496292 ("Remove gnome-boxes from default GNOME apps."), USB
redirection for GNOME Boxes had been working out-of-the-box.  Reinstate the
extensions that made that possible, so that simply adding the gnome-boxes
package back to one of the gnome-desktop-configuration fields does the right
thing.

* gnu/services/desktop.scm (gnome-setuid-programs): New procedure.
(gnome-desktop-service-type) [privileged-program-service-type]: Use it as an
extension.
* gnu/packages/gnome.scm (gnome-boxes):
[inputs]: Move spice-gtk to...
[propagated-inputs]: ... here.
[description]: Document extra steps necessary to enable the USB redirection
feature.

(description "GNOME Boxes is a simple application to view, access, and
manage remote and virtual systems. Note that this application requires the
@code{libvirt} and @code{virtlog} daemons to run. Use the command
@command{info '(guix) Virtualization Services'} to learn how to configure
these services on the Guix System. If you do not use the
@code{gnome-desktop-service-type}, you will also want to extend the
@code{polkit-service-type} with the @code{spice-gtk} package, as well as
configure the @file{libexec/spice-client-glib-usb-acl-helper} executable of
@code{spice-gtk} as setuid, to make it possible to redirect USB devices as a
non-privileged user.")
these services on the Guix System.
To make it possible to redirect USB devices as a non-privileged user, some
extra configuration is necessary: if you use the
@code{gnome-desktop-service-type}, you should add the @code{gnome-boxes}
package to the @code{extra-packages} field of the
@code{gnome-desktop-configuration}, for example:
@lisp
(service gnome-desktop-service-type
(gnome-desktop-configuration
(extra-packages (list gnome-boxes gnome-essential-extras))))
@end lisp
If you do @emph{not} use the @code{gnome-desktop-service-type}, you will need
manually extend the @code{polkit-service-type} with the @code{spice-gtk}
package, as well as configure the
@file{libexec/spice-client-glib-usb-acl-helper} executable of @code{spice-gtk}
as setuid, to make it possible to redirect USB devices as a non-privileged
user.")
