Spawning niri with `dbus-run-session` as is done here causes the compositor
and children applications to run within it's own D-Bus session bus rather than
relying on the already existing one. This causes Guix home services that rely
on a session bus to misbehave within a niri session, as the bus the services
are talking to is not the same as the one niri & applications see. Guix home
already provides a `home-dbus-service-type` for ensuring a D-Bus session bus
exists, so it makes sense to just rely on that.
* gnu/home/services/niri.scm (home-niri-service-type): Add
HOME-DBUS-SERVICE-TYPE extension.
(home-niri-shepherd-service)[requirement]: Add DBUS requirement.
[start]: Drop the 'dbus-run-session' call in favour of extending
HOME-DBUS-SERVICE-TYPE.

The niri compositor requires xwayland-satellite for proper X11 application
support under Wayland. This package provides the necessary bridge for running
X11 applications in a Wayland-native environment.
* gnu/home/services/niri.scm (home-niri-service-type): Add xwayland-satellite
to the package list, ensuring X11 applications work correctly in niri
sessions.

This introduces a new home service for Niri, a scrollable tiling Wayland
compositor that combines traditional tiling window management with smooth
scrolling between workspaces.
The service provides:
- home-niri-service-type for installing and configuring Niri
- Shepherd service that starts Niri in a DBus session
- Proper Wayland environment variables (XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP,
XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP, etc.)
- Integration with xdg-desktop-portal and related components
The service starts Niri with appropriate environment variables for
Wayland compatibility and includes necessary dependencies like
xdg-desktop-portal-gnome and xdg-desktop-portal-gtk for proper
desktop integration.
* gnu/home/services/niri.scm: New file containing the service implementation.
* gnu/local.mk (GNU_SYSTEM_MODULES): Register the new module.
* doc/guix.texi (Niri window manager): Add comprehensive documentation.
