Persistent ruler tool instances (lp:#1676814)

Broken out from a comment on lp:1672040 and mentioned again on the mailing

From the old comment by kandrey89:
Also ruler needs to be a single object that can be placed on the layout and
stay there, not disappear. Useful when building up a complicated layout, by
having multiple rulers in key places. The first mouse click should make the
ruler appear and interactive like it is now, second click should place the
ruler on the layout, an Esc should remove the ruler after the 1st click, a
Delete button or right click menu selection should remove the ruler from
the layout. The ruler object should be able to be moved about the layout or
locked into place explicitly by the user through a shortcut key or a right
click menu option. A locked ruler is allowed to be deleted, just cannot be
dragged.
