services: secret-service: Do not generate SSH and Guix key pairs.
The justification about the order of activation snippets given in the comment had been obsolete since 39e3b4b7cee175a3c1f37329744c582528d55f5d. Lately, running the activation snippets for "ssh-keygen -A" and "guix archive --generate-key" would take a little bit too long, thereby preventing the childhurd from starting on time. * gnu/services/virtualization.scm (secret-service-operating-system): Clear 'generate-host-keys?' and 'generate-substitute-key?'.
