services: libvirt: Make dmidecode available to fix SMBIOS error.

Browse Source 
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.
