Revert "services: Add xvnc-service-type."
This reverts commit 1c528a95cb92b7808e6603d7956185005583629f.  This broke
'guix pull', for (yet) unknown reasons.

-@cindex VNC (virtual network computing)
-@cindex XDMCP (x display manager control protocol)
-
-The @code{(gnu services vnc)} module provides services related to
-@dfn{Virtual Network Computing} (VNC), which makes it possible to
-locally use graphical Xorg applications running on a remote machine.
-Combined with a graphical manager that supports the @dfn{X Display
-Manager Control Protocol}, such as GDM (@pxref{gdm}) or LightDM
-(@pxref{lightdm}), it is possible to remote an entire desktop for a
-multi-user environment.
-
-@subsubheading Xvnc
-
-Xvnc is a VNC server that spawns its own X window server; which means it
-can run on headless servers.  The Xvnc implementations provided by the
-@code{tigervnc-server} and @code{turbovnc} aim to be fast and efficient.
-
-@defvar {Scheme Variable} xvnc-service-type
-
-The @code{xvnc-server-type} service can be configured via the
-@code{xvnc-configuration} record, documented below.  A second virtual
-display could be made available on a remote machine for via the
-following configuration:
-@end defvar
-
-@lisp
-(service xvnc-service-type (xvnc-configuration (display-number 10)
-@end lisp
-
-As a demonstration, the @command{xclock} command could then be started
-on the remote machine on display number 10, and it could be display
-locally via the @command{vncviewer} command:
-@example
-# Start xclock on the remote machine.
-ssh -L5910:localhost:5910 -- guix shell xclock -- env DISPLAY=:10 xclock
-# Access it via VNC.
-guix shell tigervnc-client -- vncviewer localhost:5910
-@end example
-
-The following configuration combines XDMCP and Inetd to allow multiple
-users to concurrently use the remote system, login in graphically via
-the GDM display manager:

-@quotation Warning
-Unless your machine is in a controlled environment, for security
-reasons, the @code{localhost?} configuration of the
-@code{xvnc-configuration} record should be left to its default @code{#t}
-value and exposed via a secure means such as an SSH port forward.  The
-XDMCP port, UDP 177 should also be blocked from the outside by a
-firewall, as it is not a secure protocol and can expose login
-credentials in clear.

-Available @code{xvnc-configuration} fields are:
-
-@table @asis
-@item @code{xvnc} (default: @code{tigervnc-server}) (type: file-like)
-The package that provides the Xvnc binary.
-
-@item @code{display-number} (default: @code{0}) (type: number)
-The display number used by Xvnc.  You should set this to a number not
-already used a Xorg server.
-
-@item @code{geometry} (default: @code{"1024x768"}) (type: string)
-The size of the desktop to be created.
-
-@item @code{depth} (default: @code{24}) (type: color-depth)
-The pixel depth in bits of the desktop to be created.  Accepted values
-are 16, 24 or 32.
-
-@item @code{port} (type: maybe-port)
-The port on which to listen for connections from viewers.  When left
-unspecified, it defaults to 5900 plus the display number.
-
-@item @code{ipv4?} (default: @code{#t}) (type: boolean)
-Use IPv4 for incoming and outgoing connections.
-
-@item @code{ipv6?} (default: @code{#t}) (type: boolean)
-Use IPv6 for incoming and outgoing connections.
-
-@item @code{password-file} (type: maybe-string)
-The password file to use, if any.  Refer to vncpasswd(1) to learn how to
-generate such a file.
-
-@item @code{xdmcp?} (default: @code{#f}) (type: boolean)
-Query the XDMCP server for a session.  This enables users to log in a
-desktop session from the login manager screen.  For a multiple users
-scenario, you'll want to enable the @code{inetd?} option as well, so
-that each connection to the VNC server is handled separately rather than
-shared.
-
-@item @code{inetd?} (default: @code{#f}) (type: boolean)
-Use an Inetd-style service, which runs the Xvnc server on demand.
-
-@item @code{frame-rate} (default: @code{60}) (type: number)
-The maximum number of updates per second sent to each client.
-
-@item @code{security-types} (default: @code{("None")}) (type: security-types)
-The allowed security schemes to use for incoming connections.  The
-default is "None", which is safe given that Xvnc is configured to
-authenticate the user via the display manager, and only for local
-connections.  Accepted values are any of the following: ("None"
-"VncAuth" "Plain" "TLSNone" "TLSVnc" "TLSPlain" "X509None" "X509Vnc")
-
-@item @code{localhost?} (default: @code{#t}) (type: boolean)
-Only allow connections from the same machine.  It is set to #true by
-default for security, which means SSH or another secure means should be
-used to expose the remote port.
-
-@item @code{log-level} (default: @code{30}) (type: log-level)
-The log level, a number between 0 and 100, 100 meaning most verbose
-output.  The log messages are output to syslog.
-
-@item @code{extra-options} (default: @code{()}) (type: strings)
-This can be used to provide extra Xvnc options not exposed via this
-<xvnc-configuration> record.
