[bug#62465] [PATCH v4 1/3] services: mcron: Add 'shepherd-requirement' field. |

* gnu/services/mcron.scm (mcron-configuration)[shepherd-requirement]: New field.
(list-of-symbols?): New predicate.
(mcron-shepherd-services): Add support for additional shepherd requirements.
* doc/guix.texi (Scheduled Job Execution): Update it.
---
Notable changes since v3:
* Implemented adjustable user, group and supplementary groups for mcron service.
These are especially useful when configuring multiple instances. This also
aligns
with upstream recommendation to run multiple mcron instances with lesser
privileged accounts.
Quoting mcron commit 0fe4d2cc9544d24ecc3e74a2d92433e01b9e25c6:
> I don't believe that anyone should be running system-wide cron processes these
> days (the attack surface is rather large), but should use separate per-user or
> per-service mcron daemon processes.
Tested with 'make check-system TESTS=mcron'.
