home: services: ssh: Do not empty ~/.ssh/authorized_keys by default.
The default was an empty list which would remove any ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file and replace it with a symlink to an empty file. On some systems, notably Ubuntu 22.10, the guix home generated ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file does not allow login. * doc/guix.texi (Secure Shell): Update, describe default #false value. * gnu/home/services/ssh.scm (<home-openssh-configuration>) [authorized-keys]: Change default to #f. (openssh-configuration-files): Cater for default #f value: Do not register "authorized_keys".
