logrotate: move mail dependency from package to service

having pkgs.logrotate depend on mailutils brings in quite a bit of dependencies
through mailutil itself and recursive dependency to guile when most people
do not need it.

Remove mailutils dependency from the package, and conditionally add it to the
service if the user specify the mail option either at top level or in a path

Fixes #162001
