services: guix: Allocate build user UIDs in the system range.
Until now we were allocating the UIDs of build users above 30000, which
is in "normal" user UID range.  This static allocation was unnecessary,
so this change lets the system allocate UIDs in the system range (below
1000).

* gnu/services/base.scm (guix-build-accounts): Remove #:first-uid, and
remove 'uid' field from 'user-account'.
