activation: Create directory with specified perms in ‘mkdir-p/perms’....There is currently a window of time between when the desired directory is
created and when its permissions are changed. During this time, its
permissions are restricted only by the umask.
Of course, in the "directory already exists" case, this doesn't matter, but if
the directory has been specifically deleted ahead of time so that it is
created afresh, this is an unnecessary window.
We can avoid this by passing the caller-provided BITS to 'mkdirat' when
attempting to create the last directory.
* gnu/build/activation.scm (mkdir-p/perms): Create target directory with BITS
permissions.

activation: Fix TOCTTOU in mkdir-p/perms....Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/47584>.
I removed the 'Based upon mkdir-p from (guix build utils)'
comment because it's quite a bit different now.
* gnu/build/activation.scm (verify-not-symbolic): Delete.
(mkdir-p/perms): Rewrite in terms of 'openat'.

services: setuid-program: Populate /run/privileged/bin....Create /run/setuid-programs compatibility symlinks so that we can
migrate all users (both package and human) piecemeal at our leisure.
Apart from being symlinks, this should be a user-invisible change.
* gnu/build/activation.scm (%privileged-program-directory): New variable.
[activate-setuid-programs]: Put privileged copies in
%PRIVILEGED-PROGRAM-DIRECTORY, with compatibility symlinks to each in
%SETUID-DIRECTORY.

* doc/guix.texi (Setuid Programs): Update @file{} name accordingly.
