services: Add gitolite-git-configuration.

In preparation for further customizability of the git configuration, extract
the current setup into a separate record type.

* gnu/services/version-control.scm (<gitolite-git-configuration>): New record
type.
(gitolite-git-configuration-compiler): And gexp compiler for it.
(<gitolite-configuration>): Add git-config field.
(gitolite-activation): Use it.
* doc/guix.texi (Version Control Services): Document both.
