In this version, the idea is to record undo at the place where the document is modified, which is definitely cleaner.
1/ in Buffer::updateBuffer, add a recordUndo, with the caveat that a
const_cast has to be used
2/ in GuiApplication::dispatch, add an extra undo group that
encompasses the updateBuffer call. Some other undo groups may be
redundant now, but it is not a problem since they do not cost
anything.

The problem here is that the copy_params() routine in FindAndReplace.cpp
created a new DocumentClass, but it never updated its Buffer to reflect
that new DocumentClass. So its Paragraphs still contained points to the
Layouts in the old DocumentClass which, since ead697d4b6, gets garbage
collected once it is no longer needed. So the Layout doesn't exist, and
we crash.
For some unknown reason, the paste code likes to call Cursor::setSelection(), which is not appropriate here since we are not trying to set a selection at this point.
- decline today's change because the text states "is explained in the chapter Tables of the Embedded Objects manual" So no need to describe LaTEX special again
- revert fileformat change; please keep the fileformat is possible unless you describe a new feature of LyX 2.1
objects. The problem that led to the leak is that these objects can be held in
memory long after the Buffer that created them is gone, mostly due to their
use in the CutStack. So they were previously held in a storage facility, the
DocumentClassBundle. Unfortunately, they were now being created too often,
especially by cloning. It's not really a leak, because they're accessible, but
we weren't ever destroying them.
This new approach uses a shared_ptr instead.
Thanks to Vincent for pointing out const_pointer_cast.
While cppcheck did not turn out any suspicious error messages, using
the "performance" flag highlighted several nitpicks in three categories
* do not use it++ for iterators, ++it is better
* do not use size() to test for emptyness, empty() is here
* do not use "const T" as a function parameter, "const & T" is better
I doubt that any of these is a real performance problem, but the code is cleaner anyway.
