Description of changes

I don't think pdfstudio depends on libgccjit. If it did, that would be a license violation. Unlike the other libraries in gcc, libgccjit is licensed GPLv3 with no exceptions, since libgccjit contains the entire compiler. PDF Studio is closed source.

I wasn't able to build pdfstudio2022 prior to this PR due to openjdk breakage (Edit: appears to be this). However I did download and extract the .deb used, and ran this command, which produced no outputs:

find . -name \*.so -exec ldd {} \; | grep libgccjit

Maybe somebody confused libgccjit with (may it rest in peace) libgcj?

Maybe somebody confused `libgccjit` with (may it rest in peace)
`libgcj`?
