[bug#70341] [PATCH v3] services: tor: Add support for pluggable transports.

[Nigko Yerden]

Pluggable transports are programs that disguise Tor traffic, which
can be useful in case Tor is censored.  Pluggable transports
cannot be configured by #:config-file file exclusively because Tor
process is run via 'least-authority-wrapper' and cannot have access
to transport plugin, which is a separate executable (Bug#70302,
Bug#70332).

* doc/guix.texi (Networking Services): Document 'transport-plugin' and
'pluggable-transport' options for 'tor-configuration'.
* gnu/services/networking.scm: Export 'tor-configuration-transport-plugin-path',
'tor-configuration-pluggable-transport'.
(<tor-configuration>): Add 'transport-plugin' and 'pluggable-transport'
fields.
(tor-configuration->torrc)[transport-plugin]: Add content to 'torrc'
computed-file.
(tor-shepherd-service)[transport-plugin]: Add file-system-mapping.
