Fixing rewrite/subst when the subterm to rewrite is argument of an Evar.
This was broken by the attempt to use the same algorithm for rewriting closed subterms than for rewriting subterms with evars: the algorithm to find subterms (w_unify_to_subterm) did not go through evars. But what to do when looking say, for a pattern "S ?n" in a goal "S ?x[a:=S ?y]"? Should we unify ?x[a:=S ?y] with ?n or consider ?x as rigid and look in the instance? If we adopt the first approach, then, what to do when looking for "S ?n" in a goal "?x[a:=S ?y]"? Failing? Looking in the instance? Is it normal that an evar behaves as a rigid constant when it cannot be unified with the pattern?
