home: services: Add niri.

This introduces a new home service for Niri, a scrollable tiling Wayland
compositor that combines traditional tiling window management with smooth
scrolling between workspaces.

The service provides:
- home-niri-service-type for installing and configuring Niri
- Shepherd service that starts Niri in a DBus session
- Proper Wayland environment variables (XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP,
XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP, etc.)
- Integration with xdg-desktop-portal and related components

The service starts Niri with appropriate environment variables for
Wayland compatibility and includes necessary dependencies like
xdg-desktop-portal-gnome and xdg-desktop-portal-gtk for proper
desktop integration.

* gnu/home/services/niri.scm: New file containing the service implementation.
* gnu/local.mk (GNU_SYSTEM_MODULES): Register the new module.
* doc/guix.texi (Niri window manager): Add comprehensive documentation.

The @code{(gnu home services niri)} module provides the
@code{home-niri-service-type} service, which installs and configures
@uref{https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri, Niri}, a scrollable tiling Wayland
compositor. Niri combines traditional tiling window management with
smooth scrolling between workspaces.
This service starts Niri as a user-level desktop session with proper
environment variables configured for Wayland compatibility, including
@code{XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP}, @code{XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP}, and
@code{DESKTOP_SESSION}.
Here is a minimal example service declaration for your
@code{home-environment} configuration:
@example
(service home-niri-service-type)
@end example
For more advanced configurations, you can customize the service with a
@code{niri-configuration} record to specify additional environment
variables.
