gnu: isc-bind: List included utilities in the description.
A frequent question was: "Which package contained the 'dig' utility?" This change should make the question answerable through 'guix search'. * gnu/packages/dns.scm (isc-bind)[synopsis]: Remove leading article. [description]: Add a table listing the utilities contained in the 'utils' output and insert a missing space between two sentences. [home-page]: Update.
