services: shepherd: Spawn services with nothing but the PATH variable.

Previously, services spawned with 'make-forkexec-constructor' &
co. would all inherit the environment variables of PID 1, which includes
things like 'BOOT_IMAGE'.  This change resets it to the bare minimum.

* gnu/services/shepherd.scm (shepherd-configuration-file): Add call to
'default-environment-variables'.  Remove 'setenv' call.
