[Libreoffice] Installation instructions for source code release

[David Dumaresq]

Hi Francois, 

here's where I have gone to get started:

You'll need to install git to get the source, so don't worry about manually downloading files. Anyway, it's all explained in the link,

Hope this helps!

All the best,
Dave
