ui: Produce hyperlinks for the 'location' field of search results.

This affects the output of 'guix show', 'guix search', and 'guix system
search'.

* guix/ui.scm (hyperlink, supports-hyperlinks?, location->hyperlink):
New procedures.
(package->recutils): Add #:hyperlinks? and honor it.
(display-search-results): Pass #:hyperlinks? to PRINT.
* guix/scripts/system/search.scm (service-type->recutils): Add
 #:hyperlinks? and honor it.
