texlive@2017: Update to at least revision 44704 to address bug in latexdiff |

Since Perl 5.26.0, braces in RegExps have to be escaped if one wants
Perl to match these literally.
However, texlive@2017 --- from June 4th, 2017 --- doesn't implement the
fix made to latexdiff ([1][2]) --- made into TeX Live repository in June
26th, 2017.
Without the fix, `latexdiff' command is unable to work (its goal is to
generate "TeX-command-and-group-aware" differences between LaTeX
documents).

I'm closing this >3 years old bug as it was reported against Tex Live
2017, and Guix is now using 2019, which surely includes the above fix.
Closing.
Thanks for the report,
Maxim
