Joachim Wiberg 6615a248ee service: return the svc from service_register()
Settings that exist only in the block format have nowhere to go: the
legacy line cannot carry them, and service_register() returned an errno
that no caller ever read, so conf.c had no handle on the service it just
created.  Return the svc instead, NULL with errno set on failure, errno
zero when a block is skipped on purpose.
