Joachim Wiberg 34a0a4b1ff conf: pass -- in a block command to the program
A command that takes -- as an argument lost it, and everything after
it, to the description:

    service name {
        command     = "cmd -- arg"
        description = "a cmd"
    }

ran `cmd` with description `arg`.

The block translator builds a legacy one-liner, appending the
description as "-- text", and service_register() splits that line at
the first "-- ", here the one in the command.

Split the description off only for legacy one-liners.  Blocks now hand
it to the new service_register_desc() as an argument.

Fixes #512
