[bug#46376] [PATCH] gnu: tesseract-ocr: update to 4.1.1)

[Andy Tai <atai@atai.org>]

Hi, sure.  Since the tests are built, we can just skip running them by
deleting the check phase.   That would be minimal change from the
(otherwise working) patch, also with no trouble from the missing
training data.
