'start' and 'stop' to gexps; remove 'inputs' field.
* gnu/services/xorg.scm (slim-service): Likewise.
* gnu/services/dmd.scm (dmd-configuration-file): Expect ETC to be a
derivation. Change 'config' to a gexp. Use 'gexp->file' instead of
'text-file'.
* doc/guix.texi (Defining Services): Update nscd example with gexps, and
without 'inputs'. Add xref to "G-Expressions".
* gnu/services/base.scm (%base-services): New variable.
* gnu/system.scm (<operating-system>)[services]: Change the default
value to %BASE-SERVICES.
* doc/guix.texi (Using the Configuration System): Change
'%standard-services' to '%base-services'.
