[PATCH] gnu: libreoffice: Update to 5.1.6.2.

This patch updates libreoffice to 5.1.6.2, the latest release from their
"still" branch (long-term support, stable). Although I think it will be
EOL soon, so updating to 5.2.4.2 would be better... if someone else were
up to it. The only reason I didn't try moving straight to that version
is because my laptop takes ~8 hours to build libreoffice.

Apologies, this email was poorly worded. Basically, LibreOffice has 2
supported releases: a "fresh" release (5.2.4.2) and a "still" release
(5.1.6.2). Since Guix already had the "still" release packaged,
upgrading to 5.1.6.2 just required a version bump. Upgrading to "fresh"
requires more work, which I don't really want to do myself because I
would have to wait way too long to iterate on my changes.

Perhaps we should keep both releases in Guix as seperate packages?

I'm currently building libreoffice with your patch :)

I looked into this recently. I saw that there are many
LibreOffice-specific packages that we should look into updating as well,
especially when we try to update to the "fresh" release. But, as you
mentioned, it's hard to stay motivated to work on the LibreOffice
package because of how long it takes to build.

For now, the "still" release is fine.
