Fix display of perenthesis in Hebrew documents

This was a regression from 2.1.x. I failed to copy the horrible hack that was present for the special case of () in Hebrew.

There is a real need for someone who understands RTL language stuff to fix this. Currently () are wrong in .lyx files IMO. We should not have to swap them for display.
