[FFe] libreoffice 6.1.0

[Olivier Tilloy]

libreoffice 6.1.0 was released on the 8th of August.

As 6.0 will reach EOL in November 2018 (https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan/6.0#End_of_Life), it is desirable to include 6.1 in cosmic.

Detailed release notes: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/6.1

The list of all the bugs fixed can be built by merging the lists of bugs fixed in the successive release candidates that led to final release:
 - https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/6.1.0/Beta1#Bugs_fixed_compared_to_6.1.0_Alpha1
 - https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/6.1.0/Beta2#Bugs_fixed_compared_to_6.1.0_Beta1
 - https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/6.1.0/RC1#Bugs_fixed_compared_to_6.1.0_Beta2
 - https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/6.1.0/RC2#Bugs_fixed_compared_to_6.1.0_RC1
 - https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/6.1.0/RC3#Bugs_fixed_compared_to_6.1.0_RC2

A number of followup bugfix releases in the 6.1 series will follow (https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan/6.1), we should be able to include 6.1.1 before the Cosmic release, and maybe even 6.1.2.

Packages for 6.1.0 were built in a PPA (ppa:osomon/lo-test) and thoroughly tested on a system with cosmic-proposed enabled. Autopkgtests all pass, and manual testing following the test plan (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Process/Merges/TestPlans/libreoffice) uncovered two regressions which I think are acceptable provided they are fixed before the Cosmic release:

 - https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119357: this is an upstream bug and is already fixed in the upcoming 6.1.1

 - bug #1789202: this is a packaging bug also present in Debian, and I am confident we will work out a solution before 6.1.1 is out
