Fix data loss in user guide conversion to 2.0.x

When doing the lyx2lyx round trip of the 2.0.8 user guide from format
413 -> 474 -> 413 you do not get a zero diff. The most important problem is
caused by the conversion of the argument insets to the old syntax: This
conversion adds an additional empty line (harmless), and it destroys the
document structure if the first inset in e.g. a subsection is not an argument
inset, but e.g. an index or label inset.
The fix is quite easy: Ensure that the paragraph begin is set to the first
argument inset.
