A dynamic_cast is necessary when:
- the object to be casted is from an external library because we can't add Qxxx::asXxxx() to Qt e.g.:
* QAbstractListModel to GuiIdListModel,
* QValidator to PathValidator,
* QWidget to TabWorkArea,
* QWidget to GuiWorkArea;
- the object is to be casted from an interface to the implementing class, because the Interface does not know by whom it is implemented:
* ProgressInterface to GuiProgress,
* Application to GuiApplication.
A dynamic_cast can be replaced by:
- already existing as***Inset() functions, e.g.:
* asHullInset(),
* asInsetMath()->asMacro(),
* asInsetText();
- a static_cast when we are sure this can't go wrong, e.g.:
* we are sure that CellData::inset->clone() is an InsetTableCell,
* in cases where we explicitly check it->lyxCode().

- rename readFromVC to extractFromVC because this function actually doesn't read anything as compared to readEmergency, readAutosave and so on.
- rename readEmergency and readAutosave to loadEmergency and loadAutosave just like loadLyXFile and loadThisLyXFile. Only in loadThisLyXFile we switch to the actually reading of a file.

It's strange to have a public interface which has a function loadLyXFile and a function readFile. A user of this class will be confused about the difference.
Therefore, loadThisLyXFile will be next to loadLyXFile to stress that loadThisLyXFile will not load another file ;). I don't know whether all of you like that this function just calls readFile, but it feels good this way. All public paths for loading a file will now go through loadThisLyXFile (i.e. the paths that come from loadLyXFile), while readFile is a pure private function. If this doesn't make sense, just shout.
I think this improves the readability of the class.

- group the read and emergency/autosave functions,
- add comments to the functions,
- adjust visibility of functions,
- add FIXMEs to some functions which are still unneccesarily public.

This also fixes compilation again. I forgot to cherry-pick all commits in git ;)...

The only substantive change here is moving the markDirty() call into the
first case. If we don't load the file successfully, then there is no
need to mark dirty.

Extract convertLyXFormat function that runs LyX2LyX.

We need to save the checksum of the requested file. Not of the autosave file.

- Move the saveCheckSum to both autosave file as emergency file read function.
- Extract the function parseLyxFormat.
- Improve comment about the older LyX format numbers.

- Move some lines of code to more proper places.
- Let Buffer::readFile(FileName const &) return ReadStatus as well.

- make a new function readFromVC(),
if the file does not exist, try to extract it from the version control (RCS),
- make a new function readEmergency(),
try to read the emergency file that is associated to the file we are trying to read,
- make a new function readAutosave(),
try to read the autosave file that is associated to the file we are trying to read,
- merge loadLyXFile() and readFileHelper(),
this new function now determines which file to read.
- add more ReadStatus elements to describe failures.

helps the user to avoid errors and leads to more informative messages.
* implementation of diff and use it for the repoUpdate operation.
* add the check for merge conflicts in checkOut.

A hidden document does not have an associated Cursor. So, each time we create a new workArea, we should restore the cursor position.
