Sometimes `syncthing-service-type' fails during startup because it tries
to read configuration files from the user's home directory:

Failure on home directory: mkdir /home/xyz/.config: permission denied

This patch adds `user-processes' to the shepherd service requirements to
ensure that `user-homes' is fired before `syncthing' tries to read data
from the home directory.

* gnu/services/syncthing.scm (syncthing-shepherd-service): add
`user-processes' to requirements
