* guix/home-services-import.scm: New file.
* guix/scripts/home.scm (manifest->code): Generate <home-environment>
that contains home services.
(home-environment-template): Add ‘services’ keyword argument.
---
This will automatically generate the ‘services’ field in the
‘home-environment’ record and generate the appropriate service
configurations based on dotfiles found in ~/.  It will also
automatically import the needed modules for the services, so the user
doesn’t have to go hunt for the correct to import.

For now, only Bash is supported; more services will hopefully come in
the future.  :)

Ah, that does make sense.

The state services probably need a refactor, I think you mentioned that
specific state services should be put into other modules, e.g. (gnu
home-services version-control) for ‘state-git’ and ‘state-hg’.

Yeah, having an official guideline for writing services would be great.
We might also want to add a ‘Migrating to Guix Home’ section in the manual.

Not sure why one would use symbols for everything to begin with; I
usually just use strings/bool/num for the values.
