Subject: [PATCH] nixos/libvirt-guests: remove unexpected service dependency on
 libvirtd.service

Remove service dependency that caused VMs to get suspended/shudown on libvirtd service stop/restart.

This behaviour is unexpected. The `libvirt-guests.service` is expected
to suspend/shutdown libvirt guests on host system shutdown - not on
libvirtd service shutdown.

this resolves https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/485136
