services: Use ‘spawn-command’ instead of ‘fork’ + ‘waitpid’.

Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/76315>.

This is more concise and more robust: these ‘waitpid’ calls would
compete with those made by shepherd’s event loop upon SIGCHLD, and they
could hang forever, as illustrated with ‘dhcp-client-service-type’
in <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/76315>.

* gnu/services/databases.scm (postgresql-role-shepherd-service): Use
‘spawn-command’ instead of ‘fork+exec-command’ followed by ‘waitpid’.
* gnu/services/networking.scm (dhcp-client-shepherd-service): Change
‘start’ to use ‘spawn-command’ instead of ‘fork+exec-command’ and
* gnu/services/web.scm (patchwork-django-admin-gexp): Use
‘spawn-command’ instead of ‘primitive-fork’ + ‘waitpid’.
