2022-08-30guix system: Use standard cross and native build options....This change prevents guix system from erroring out with an ugly backtrace when it's passed an invalid value to the “--system” or “--target” option.

This matches upstream behavior, meaning that even when plugged to a power cord, a laptop will suspend when the lid is closed. * doc/guix.texi (Desktop Services): Update doc. Reported-by: Cairn <cairn@pm.me> Maxim Cournoyer

2022-08-01services: configuration: Step back from *unspecified*....Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/56799>. This partially reverts 8cb1a49a3998c39f315a4199b7d4a121a6d66449. Rationale: *unspecified* cannot be serialized thus used as a G-Expression input, which is problematic/inconvenient when using deeply nested records. As an example, jami-service-type was broken when using partially defined <jami-account> records. * gnu/services/configuration.scm (define-maybe-helper): Check against the 'unset symbol.
