system: Allow 'chfn' to change the user's full name.
Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/52539>. Reported by Jacob First <jacob.first@member.fsf.org>. * gnu/build/accounts.scm (allocate-passwd): Add comment as to why 'real-name' is taken from PREVIOUS. Add (not system?) to the condition. * gnu/system.scm (operating-system-etc-service) <login.defs>: Add "CHFN_RESTRICT". * gnu/system.scm (%setuid-programs): Add "chfn". * gnu/system/pam.scm (base-pam-services): Add "chfn". * doc/guix.texi (User Accounts): Document it.
