services: base: Deprecate 'udev-service' procedure.

* doc/guix.texi (Base Services): Replace udev-service with udev-service-type.
Document <udev-configuration>. Use @defun @-commands for udev-rules-service,
udev-rule and file->udev-rule.
* gnu/services/base.scm (udev-service): Deprecate procedure.
* gnu/system/install.scm (%installation-services): Use udev-service-type.
