[bug#61789,00/27] Deprecate old-style services.

Should completely deprecate every old-style service from Guix.
Some had conflicting default values and some had to be rewritten.

For some services the documentation is _still_ incomplete but should still result in an improvement over the status quo.


Note: #60756 also deprecates one such old-style service but is not included
in this patch series.

I pushed this series (see commits below), except for patches that I
explicitly mentioned here.  I suggest that we discuss each one of them
independently in a new issue.

Thanks for taking the time to do all this work!
