services: 'file-union' makes sure each source file exists.

Before that, specifying an invalid timezone in 'operating-system' would
lead to a dangling symlink in the 'etc' directory, which in turn would
lead to a kernel panic at boot time.

Reported by pizzaiolo on #guix.

* gnu/services.scm (file-union): Add 'stat' call for SOURCE.
