services: unattended-upgrade: Rewrite as a Shepherd timer.
This is a semi-incompatible change: gexps previously provided in the
‘schedule’ field will no longer work.
* gnu/services/admin.scm (unattended-upgrade-mcron-jobs): Rename to…
(unattended-upgrade-shepherd-services): … this. Return a list of one
Shepherd service. Remove custom logging and time limitation facilities
from ‘code’.
(unattended-upgrade-service-type): Extend ‘shepherd-root-service-type’
instead of ‘mcron-service-type’.
(<unattended-upgrade-configuration>)[services-to-restart]: Change
default.
* doc/guix.texi (Unattended Upgrades): Adjust ‘schedule’ and
‘services-to-restart’ documentation.
