Hi!

These patches add two system services to periodically update file
databases: one for 'updatedb', and one for 'guix locate --update'.

I did not add them to '%base-services' mainly because: (1) 'updatedb'
builds a database of all the files available on the system, which
can be a problem on multi-user systems, and (2) the 'guix locate'
service is quite expensive ('time-machine' + 'store' method by
default) and eventually users may often download a pre-built database
from ci.guix or similar.

Thoughts?

Ludo'.

  services: Add 'file-database' service.
  services: Add 'package-database' service.
