mpd package features for Fedora 21

[Jonathan M. Polom]

The command `firewall-cmd --add-service-mpd` would add the service to
whichever zone is default and whatever interfaces are in that zone. This is
user-configurable as more options can be appended to the `firewall-cmd`
command to constrain the application to only desired zones/interfaces. That
was just an example of potential usage.
