Remove TheDocumentFoundation.LibreOffice.LTS

[SpecterShell]

Description of the new feature/enhancement

I'm thinking about removing the TheDocumentFoundation.LibreOffice.LTS package and only keeping the non-LTS one, as the LTS one no longer makes sense:

1. The 7.x series got removed from the download page some hours before this post today.
2. The LibreOffice auto updater is now suggesting 7.x series users to update to 24.2.4, which is the current non-LTS version.
   
3. The 7.x has been EOL'd.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

@vikingnope I think you've mentioned the wrong PR here :D

[vikingnope]

oh yep sorry, removed it now

[vikingnope]

@SpecterShell, should I remove the SDK LTS as well? TheDocumentFoundation.LibreOffice.SDK.LTS

By deleting the ID "TheDocumentFoundation.LibreOffice.LTS" systems of users who use
winget upgrade TheDocumentFoundation.LibreOffice.LTS
are affected in a not expectable way, because winget is suggesting to upgrade to TheDocumentFoundation.LibreOffice (without .LTS) now.

The currently used download link for 24.2.4.2 is wrong.

LTS is no longer supported by LibeOffice and this is why it has been removed. I will check out ythe current download link for 24.2.4.2.

I think there might be an outage with their CDN, there is also a new update 24.2.5.1 so I will add that

EDIT: It seems to be going online and offline currently

Dear all,

Until now LibreOffice was calling the versions Stable and Fresh on their website. I think to have a stable (or LTS) ID would nevertheless make sense. At times like now the latest (fresh) and stable (LTS) would be the same version. In one month when 24.8 will be released the LTS will stay on 24.2 and 24.8 would be there additionally.

What do you think?

That version is actually 24.2.5.2 not 24.2.5.1. I'm fixing it.

It is somehow similar to NodeJS, which has a current (non-LTS) channel and active (LTS) channel, and a major version (e.g., 22.x) in the current channel may go to the active channel when the current channel is moving to the next major version (e.g., 23.x).
