New LibreOffice for Android app

Hi together,

I also have both apps. In addition to Sam's list:
* Both have a similar performance in my tests
* LO Reader needs much more disk space than OO Reader
* OO Reader has some display problems with odt and ods files. For
  example missing page headers or wrong width of spreadsheet columns.
* Vice versa I noticed no display bugs with LO Reader so far, even with
  more complex documents

Hopefully the space requirements do not grow too much in future versions
of LO. If they can regulate that, it'll become a very good reader (and
editor) indeed.

Best,
Max
