tests: configuration: Add a test to cover 'unset regression.

The regression was introduced with a2b89a3319dc1d621c546855f578acae5baaf6da,
and introduce a risk that 'unset leaks to serialized configuration files.

* tests/services/configuration.scm (maybe-symbol): New type.
(config-with-maybe-symbol): New configuration.
("symbol maybe value serialization, unspecified"): New test.
