[bug#68716] [PATCH gnome-team v4 4/7] services: Extend udev capabilities of gnome-desktop-service.

[Vivien Kraus]

Our udev service is capable of handling both rules and hardware databases.
This patch makes it so that gnome can install any such needed rules or
databases, while also allowing users to supply a list of names to ignore
(via regular expressions).

* gnu/services/desktop.scm (gnome-desktop-configuration): Add udev-ignorelist.
(gnome-udev-resources): Rename to…
(gnome-udev-configuration-files): … this.  Account for udev-ignorelist.
(gnome-desktop-service-type): Adjust accordingly.
