Example file with all slides master replaced

When the Change Master slide command is used on multiple selected slides, the new master slide is copied over multiple times to the target slideshow, making the file grow unnecessarily.

1. Create a new slideshow from the Candy template
2. Select all slides in the left Slides pane
3. Chosse Slide - Change Slide Master
4. Press Load
5. From the Presentations category select Beehive, press OK
6. Select the Beehive1 template from the two imported ones, OK
7. Go to the Master slides view
-> there are as many instances of the Beehive1 master slide, as there were slides selected in step 2. In case of the Candy template, that's 13 - adding to the file size unnecessarily.

Version: 24.8.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community

and all the way back to 6.3 when this Change Slide Master command first appeared in the menu.
