services: guix: Add bffe-service-type.

This is intended to replace the functionality of the Guix Build Coordinator
queue builds script, and also provide a web interface for build farms.

* gnu/services/guix.scm (<bffe-configuration>): New record type.
(bffe-configuration, bffe-configuration?,
bffe-configuration-package,
bffe-configuration-user,
bffe-configuration-group,
bffe-configuration-arguments
bffe-configuration-extra-environment-variables): New procedures.
(bffe-service-type): New variable.
* gnu/tests/guix.scm (%test-bffe): New variable.
* doc/guix.texi (Guix Services): Document the new service.

@subsection Guix Services
@subsubheading Build Farm Front-End (BFFE)
The @uref{https://git.cbaines.net/guix/bffe/,Build Farm Front-End}
assists with building Guix packages in bulk. It's responsible for
submitting builds and displaying the status of the build farm.
@defvar bffe-service-type
Service type for the Build Farm Front-End. Its value must be a
@code{bffe-configuration} object.
@end defvar
@deftp {Data Type} bffe-configuration
Data type representing the configuration of the Build Farm Front-End.
@table @asis
@item @code{package} (default: @code{bffe})
The Build Farm Front-End package to use.
@item @code{user} (default: @code{"bffe"})
The system user to run the service as.
@item @code{group} (default: @code{"bffe"})
The system group to run the service as.
@item @code{arguments}
A list of arguments to the Build Farm Front-End. These are passed to
the @code{run-bffe-service} procedure when starting the service.
For example, the following value directs the Build Farm Front-End to
submit builds for derivations available from @code{data.guix.gnu.org} to
the Build Coordinator instance assumed to be running on the same
machine.
@example
(list
#:build
(list
(build-from-guix-data-service
(data-service-url "https://data.guix.gnu.org")
(build-coordinator-url "http://127.0.0.1:8746")
(branches '("master"))
(systems '("x86_64-linux" "i686-linux"))
(systems-and-targets
(map (lambda (target)
(cons "x86_64-linux" target))
'("aarch64-linux-gnu"
"i586-pc-gnu")))
(build-priority (const 0))))
#:web-server-args
'(#:event-source "https://example.com"
#:controller-args
(#:title "example.com build farm")))
@end example
@item @code{extra-environment-variables} (default: @var{'()})
Extra environment variables to set via the shepherd service.
@end table
@end deftp
@subsubheading Guix Build Coordinator
