services: user-homes: Do not create home directories marked as no-create.
Fixes a bug whereby GuixSD would create the /nonexistent directory, from user 'nobody', even though it has 'create-home-directory?' set to #f. * gnu/build/activation.scm (activate-users+groups): Add comment for \#:create-home?. (activate-user-home)[ensure-user-home]: Skip when CREATE-HOME? is #f or SYSTEM? is #t. * gnu/tests/base.scm (run-basic-test)["no extra home directories"]: New tests.
