This patch add wireguard as a loadable Linux kernel module which allow using
it Linux version < 5.6 without having to rebuild the entire kernel.

Following is a usage example:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(use-modules (gnu) (gnu services))
(use-package-modules vpn)
(use-service-modules linux)

(operating-system
  ...
  (services (cons* (service kernel-module-loader-service-type
                            '("wireguard"))
                   %base-services))
  (kernel-loadable-modules (list wireguard-module)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
