Sometimes two configurations might have the same types for their field values,
but the values might be serialized in two completely different
ways (e.g. because the two programs have different configuration languages).

An example of this would be the ‘serialize-boolean’ procedure in (gnu services
mail) and (gnu services getmail).  They both serialize a boolean value, but
because the Dovecot’s configuration language has a different syntax to the
configuration language for Getmail, two different procedures have to be
defined.

One way to workaround this would be to specify custom serializers for many
fields in order to separate the serialization of the values that have the same
type but serialize in different ways.  This could get very tedious, especially
if there are many configurations in the same module.

Another way would be to move one of the configurations to its own module, like
what was done with (gnu services getmail).  However, this would mean that
there would be multiple modules containing configurations for related
programs, e.g. we have (gnu services mail) and (gnu services getmail), it
doesn’t make much sense to keep the Getmail configuration in its own module.

This patch will allow one to write something like this:

  (define-configuration foo-configuration
    (bar
      (string "bob")
      "Option bar.")
    (prefix bar-))

and the value of the ‘bar’ field would be serialized using a procedure named
‘bar-serialize-string’ instead of just ‘serialize-string’.

* gnu/services/configuration.scm (define-maybe-helper): Accept ‘prefix’
argument for using serializer with custom prefix.
(define-maybe): Pattern match on ‘prefix’ literal.
(define-configuration-helper): Accept ‘prefix’ argument for using serializer
with custom prefix.
(define-configuration): Pattern match on ‘prefix’ literal.
* tests/services/configuration.scm ("serialize-configuration with prefix"):
New test.

On top of that, I also have few services (at least 3 of them are
mail-related, Procmail, Notmuch, L2md) I want to upstream once Guix Home
has been merged.  With this patch it would be possible to sort of put
each configuration in a namespace without having to create new modules
that just contain one configuration.

Looks reasonable to me.  Applied, thanks!
