2024-03-06gnu: home: dotfiles: Properly support both plain and Stow directory layouts....Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/68848>. The current implementation of the home-dotfiles-service-type contradicts the Guix manual. This patch properly implements both the plain and Stow dotfiles directory layouts. It does so by refactoring home-dotfiles-configuration adding a new packages field to support GNU Stow's users workflow and introducing a new layout field to switch between the two directory layouts. * gnu/home/services/dotfiles (home-dotfiles-configuration): Migrate to (gnu services configuration); [packages]: new field; [layout]: new field; (strip-stow-dotfile): new variable; (strip-plain-dotfile): new variable; (home-dotfiles-configuration->files): use the new fields; [directory-contents]: allow for selecting a subset of application dotfile directories; * doc/guix.texi: document the new layouts.
