Remove ActiveX from LibreOffice

[Mark Hung]

Hi,

I've reported tdf#90386 last year, which was about IE8 didn't render
embedded LibreOffice properly.
A valid use case is to read the uploaded documents on SharePoint server in
intranet.
Eventually it obsoletes, but I prefer to consider this when facing some
directly related event.
 ( i.e EOL of Windows7, new toolchain ceasing ActiveX support, or security
issue which lacks of engineer resource ) .
