Adding NeoOffice code to existing LibreOffice code

[Patrick Luby]

Thanks Thorsten!

Just to set expectations: in most cases, the actual code copied will only be a few lines here and there. With LibreOffice, I try to do a new implementation and only look at the NeoOffice code when I see a familiar bug.

For example, most of the macOS full screen feature is already in the LibreOffice code and it worked until it was disabled. The only problem was it had a few big bugs that we solved in NeoOffice e.g. the empty screen after closing all full screen windows.
