Don't wrap EventChord around rhythmic events by default.

This changes quite a number of things and required quite a few code
changes.  It is obvious that there is a lot of code duplication in
Lilypond.

A number of regtest differences show up: most of them actually
demonstrate bugs in the preexisting code base that fails to typeset
things like <c-.> with the same carefulness as c-. is typeset.  Since
c-. is no longer treated like <c>-. this becomes obvious in a number
of cases.

The part combiner has several problems, the tablature code has a few,
relying on string numbers getting lost by default does no longer work,
the fingering engraver is affected.

Displaying music obviously is no longer working; this is not a defect
of the old code but rather needs work to match the new realities.

All in all, things could be worse.

This is merely a first sketch and should at least provide for
interesting experiments.
