[LyX/master] Allow pasting references to mathed

[Enrico Forestieri]

commit 22ee249c3ea6426dbf24956ae36986e3ee6f81c0
Author: Enrico Forestieri <forenr at lyx.org>

    Allow pasting references to mathed
    
    A reference can be directly inserted into mathed but cannot be pasted
    because the pasted material is returned in plain text format. This patch
    allows getting a string from the cut stack in a suitable format allowing
    the math parser to actually create an InsetRef.
    
    Fixes #11539
