Tell dialyzer not to warn about unused functions

Depending on the dictionary, generated dictionary modules may contain
unused functions included from diameter_gen.hrl. There may still be
warnings however since even used functions can contain code that
isn't reached for a given dictionary.

It would be useful for diameter to generate spec attributes for
a dictionary's generated records but the format of these is currently
undocumented.
