    services: syslog: fix configuration file argument
    
    * gnu/services/base.scm (syslog-shepherd-service): Separate incorrectly
    combined arguments which resulted in an argument like "-f
    /etc/syslog.conf" being passed to syslogd, leading it to ignore the
    argument and execute without a configuration file. Effects of this
    included no log files being written, though the Shepherd service ran
    successfully.
