services: Improve the upower-service-type.
Add a description and default value. Switch the documentation to mention the service-type and the configuration record, rather than the upower-service procedure. * gnu/services/desktop.scm (upower-service-type)[description, default-value]: Define these fields. (%desktop-services): Change (upower-service) to (service upower-service-type). * doc/guix.texi (Desktop Services): Update the upower service documentation.

+
+@item @code{poll-batteries?} (default: @code{#t})
+Enable polling the kernel for battery level changes.
+
+@item @code{ignore-lid?} (default: @code{#f})
+Ignore the lid state, this can be useful if it's incorrect on a device.
+
+@item @code{use-percentage-for-policy?} (default: @code{#f})
+Whether battery percentage based policy should be used. The default is to use
