system: Allow 'chfn' to change the user's full name. 

Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/52539>.
Reported by Jacob First <jacob.first@member.fsf.org>.

* gnu/build/accounts.scm (allocate-passwd): Add comment as to why
'real-name' is taken from PREVIOUS.  Add (not system?) to the
condition.
* gnu/system.scm (operating-system-etc-service) <login.defs>: Add
"CHFN_RESTRICT".
* gnu/system.scm (%setuid-programs): Add "chfn".
* gnu/system/pam.scm (base-pam-services): Add "chfn".
* doc/guix.texi (User Accounts): Document it.

@ -15387,6 +15387,11 @@ account is created.
@item @code{comment} (default: @code{""})
A comment about the account, such as the account owner's full name.
Note that, for non-system accounts, users are free to change their real
name as it appears in @file{/etc/passwd} using the @command{chfn}
command. When they do, their choice prevails over the system
administrator's choice; reconfiguring does @emph{not} change their name.
@item @code{home-directory}
This is the name of the home directory for the account.
