Tests seem to fail on all recent versions even outside of our build
system. The upstream CI tests seem to somehow succeed but I wasn't able
to reproduce that locally. For not it is probably best to disable them.
A sporadic failure occured on Hydra because a request was sent
to the daemon after the systemd unit was started, but before the
daemon was actually listening. Fix by checking for open port first.
Some programs like eog seem to need dconf accessible on dbus.
Without this change I get
(eog:1738): dconf-WARNING **: 21:20:52.770: failed to commit changes to

* libreoffice-still: -> 6.0.6.2
* (newer than our current 'fresh!')
* libreoffice-fresh: -> 6.1.0.3
* 6.1.1(.1) is currently pre-release, FWIW
* Use normal gcc, not gcc5
* dropping 'glibc' from buildInputs fixed this (?)
* remove many fixes/touchups/workarounds/hacks
* hopefully everything still works for everyone
* disable online update since that seems unlikely to work anyway
* fix autogen/configure invocations
* disable libnumbertext in 6.1.x since not packaged
* drop 'touch solenv/inc/target.mk' as unclear what it was for
and doesn't seem to be currently needed
* cleanup link gen a bit[1]
* split checks to check phase

primary motivation was to stop creating links like:
'libreoffice-6.0.5.2/src/-libxslt-1.1.32.tar.gz' -> '/nix/store/503v5hmhm430bld0h078gacmkniwdllr-libxslt-1.1.32.tar.gz'
'libreoffice-6.0.5.2/src/libxslt-1.1.32.tar.gz' -> '/nix/store/503v5hmhm430bld0h078gacmkniwdllr-libxslt-1.1.32.tar.gz'
This is mostly accomplished by simply using the 'md5name' field
which the python script kindly generates for us
(including the use of non-md5 if md5 is not set or empty).
The $doc stuff needed changes, probably because of ghostscript newly
reacting to some configure flags that stdenv passes.
- share/ghostscript/9.22/doc was an ugly location for documentation,
and I didn't like their new share/ghostscript/9.24 either,
so that got changed to share/doc/ghostscript/9.24
- their process no longer installs examples, apparently,
but I don't expect that would be any problem for us
