2022-12-07services: zabbix: Don't write user to configuration file....The service already runs with the specified user and group, so there is no use in writing it to the configuration files.

Mention the file names used and that the UEFI Boot Manager is not modified. Advise to disable write-access over TFTP. * gnu/bootloader.scm (efi-bootloader-profile): Allow a list of packages and collect everything directly in the profile, avoiding a separate collection directory.
