6454b33345 services: Make 'nscd-service' configurable; cache hosts/services by default.
Before that, as it was given an empty configuration file, nscd would
actually have all its caches disabled.

* gnu/services/base.scm (<nscd-configuration>, <nscd-cache>): New record
  types.
  (%nscd-default-caches, %nscd-default-configuration): New variables.
  (nscd.conf-file): New procedure.

847391fe62 guix: scripts: Parse $GUIX_BUILD_OPTIONS separately.
Appending to "raw" args broke optional parameters in 'guix package -I'
and 'guix package -A', and possibly other places.  Therefore, switch to
parsing each set of options on its own and append resulting alists
together afterwards.

* guix/scripts/archive.scm (parse-options-from): Rename from
  (parse-options) and add explicit argument.  New form of (parse-options)
  using its old algorithm via -from function.
* guix/scripts/build.scm: Ditto.
* guix/scripts/environment.scm: Ditto.
* guix/scripts/package.scm: Ditto.
* guix/scripts/system.scm: Ditto.
* tests/guix-package.sh: Add test.
* doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix build): Make it clear that the options
  are parsed independently.

information between the device-mapping service and the file-system
service that uses it.
