services: dicod: Add 'interfaces' configuration field.
This makes 'dicod' listen on 'localhost' by default, whereas it was previously listening on all the interfaces, which is not a good default security-wise. * gnu/services/dict.scm (<dicod-configuration>)[interfaces]: New field. (dicod-configuration-file)[database->text]: New procedure, with code formerly in 'dicod-configuration->text'. [dicod-configuration->text]: Rename to... [configuration->text]: ... this. Honor 'interfaces'. * doc/guix.texi (Various Services): Document 'interfaces'.
