services: libvirt: Make dmidecode available to fix SMBIOS error.
The libvirt daemon requires 'dmidecode' to provide Host SMBIOS information
to virtual machines. Without it in the PATH, it fails with the error:
"Host SMBIOS information is not available".
* gnu/services/virtualization.scm (libvirt-configuration): Add 'dmidecode'
field to specify the dmidecode package.
(libvirt-service-type): Add dmidecode to system profile to ensure it's
available in PATH.
* doc/guix.texi (Virtualization Services): Document the new 'dmidecode'
option.
