[bug#54216] [PATCH staging v3] gnu: shepherd: Build it from git, and clean up shepherd-for-guix.

[Attila Lendvai]

just a quick idea:

another solution could be to introduce a shepherd-tools package that only 
contains the command line tools, and packages would depend on this one, not 
shepherd itself.

that way shepherd could be updated cheaply, and as long as the socket interface 
remains compatible, the shepherd-tools package doesn't need to be updated 
(which is expensive in the current dependency graph).
