forum-mso-en-16345.docx: pages 4 and 8 should contain tables

Although this rather unique document never loaded perfectly, it previously had the pages mostly full of content.

Since 24.2.2, now page 4 is only half full - i.e the table that was there moved to page 5.
That occurred with 24.8 commit commit 397d72e582c725d162c7e0b819dc6c0bb62e42b0

    Related: tdf#158986 sw floattable: fix unexpected page break with sections

Likely this just triggered an existing non-optimal layout situation, so not marking as a regression.

Steps to reproduce
1.) open forum-mso-en-16345.docx

Notice that page 4 is half empty.

Reducing the importance, because the document is rather contrived. (The whole thing looks table-like, but most of it is not actually tables. Lots of sections...)

By now I think there are some 5 sw floattable bugs like this in the bugzilla. Unfortunately these are far from trivial to fix. I hope to find time to progress with them in the not too distant future.
