[LyX/2.1.x] Fix CAS computation of a selected subformula.

    Fix CAS computation of a selected subformula.
    
    Invoking a computer algebra system program for computing a selected
    subformula has never worked (checked with all LyX versions back to 1.3)
    and, moreover, in the presence of a selection things go awry.
    This commit allows this computation by replacing the selected
    subformula with the result of the computation.
