home: services: openssh: Add configuration option for jump proxies
Add a new 'proxy' field to openssh-host to allow ProxyCommand or ProxyJump, but not both, to be configured. Configuring both would cause the serialization order to determine which one is used. Deprecate the 'proxy-command' field because the 'proxy' field replaces it. * gnu/home/services/ssh.scm (proxy-jump->string, proxy-command-or-jump-list?, serialize-proxy-command-or-jump-list, sanitize-proxy-command): New procedure. (proxy-jump, proxy-command): New record type. (openssh-host)[proxy-command]: Mark field as deprecated because OpenSSH can't have ProxyCommand and ProxyJump configured at the same time. * doc/guix.texi (Secure Shell): Update to match the changes to the service. Signed-off-by: Ludovic Courtès <ludo@gnu.org>
