Bug Description
LibreOffice provides spell cheking through Hunspell[1].
There are a few reasons why we should disable spell checking in the LO build provided by DocViewer:
* It is broken because of AppArmor policies[2]
* It isn't currently necessary (we only provide viewer functionalities)
* When spell checking is working, it underlines every single string of a document with the red marker. This is something we should avoid when we'll extend the full screen mode to LO presentation documents too[3].

[2] It seems it's not always reproducible, but AppArmor sometimes throws out a denial for hunspell
[3] We haven't implemented LO settings support in DocViewer, neither LibreOfficeKit did, so we're not yet able to toggle spell checking on/off as required by a specific context.
