Subject: [PATCH] fix(stirling-pdf): remove the LibreOffice listener that
 collides with unoserver on UNO port 2002 (#16460)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

libreoffice-listener.service binds 127.0.0.1:2002, and unoserver — started
with no --uno-port — defaults to the same port and launches its own
LibreOffice. The second soffice.bin cannot bind and spins in its URP Acceptor
thread indefinitely, burning a full core from boot.

It stays invisible because unoserver's client side dials 127.0.0.1:2002 and
reaches the listener's instance, so conversions succeed and systemctl --failed
stays empty.

unoserver supervises its own LibreOffice, so the separate listener is
redundant; port 2002 is still served after the change. Both
Requires=libreoffice-listener lines are dropped with it, and update_script()
migrates existing installs, which all still carry the collision.
