* modules/shepherd/service.scm: add keep-tty flag to skip setsid
when using shepherd as user, programs like xorg server,
potentially any
program which ends up interacting with user, require terminal to
remain.
currently, setsid is called unconditionally from exec-command
function,
making it impossible to have such process.
this adds keep-tty flag to make-forkexec-constructor up to
exec-command
function where setsid is actually called.

I did that slightly differently:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/shepherd.git/commit/?id=c43f81794344dbac31bcb8b8f1c0d266f47f14fa
Let me know if it works for you.
Thanks,
