[bug#75091] [PATCH] services: syslog: fix configuration file argument

[45mg <45mg.writes@gmail.com>]

* 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.
