[Libreoffice] Change executable/sh names

Installing LibORC1on a Windwows system[1] creates an issue with a
co-installed OOo install. Once LibO is installed it takes over all .odt
etc file properties associations.

- LO takes over all OOo application defaults & icons.
- LO uses the same executable names as OOo (soffice.exe, swriter.exe,
etc). This makes it impossible to select an .odt and re-associate it
with OOo on the same system.

Sorry, I can't provide screenshots as I only test WinXP in a Virtual
Machine.

*Please* correct this issue in the RC2 release. swriter et al are OOo
executable/shell(linux) names; change them to libowriter etc and you'll
avoid this issue. As long as this issue exists the user is unlikely to
install LibO in any production system that also has OOo installed.
