services: syslog: Simplify 'start' method.
This is a followup to d7113bb655ff80a868a9e624c913f9d23e6c63ad and
e3358a831e7d5d9e8dc614340e49ea5aeb11a7ff.

* gnu/services/base.scm (syslog-service-type): Change 'start' method to set
  umask using the #:file-creation-mask parameter of
  'make-forkexec-constructor' introduced in version 0.8.0 of the Shepherd.
