<live-service>.
* guix/scripts/system.scm (call-with-service-upgrade-info): Adjust
accordingly.
* gnu/tests/base.scm (run-basic-test)["shepherd services"]: Adjust
accordingly.
This makes (gnu services herd) independent of (guix ui).
* gnu/services/herd.scm (&shepherd-error, &service-not-found-error)
(&action-not-found-error, &action-exception-error)
(&unknown-shepherd-error): New error condition types.
(report-action-error): Remove.
(raise-shepherd-error): New procedure.
(display-message): Do not use 'info' and '_'.
(invoke-action): Use 'raise-shepherd-error' instead of
'report-action-error'. Do not use 'warning'.
(current-services): Do not use 'warning'.
* guix/scripts/system.scm (with-shepherd-error-handling): New macro.
(report-shepherd-error, call-with-service-upgrade-info): New
procedures.
(upgrade-shepherd-services): Use it.
Before that 'open-connection' would return #f, and thus
'current-services' would return a single #f value when its continuation
expects two.
Reported by calher on #guix.
* gnu/services/herd.scm (open-connection): Rethrow system-error
exceptions.

'dynamic-wind'.
