Allow \alternative {...} inside a repeat body

Dan Eble requested to merge dev/eble/alt-elem-iter into master

Allow \alternative {...} inside a repeat body.

Also allow assigning a group of alternatives to a variable and using it later as \alternative \var.

The "More alternatives than repeats" warning now refers to the source location of both the \repeat and the \alternative.

There is a new type of music, SequentialAlternativeMusic, and a new iterator, Alternative_sequence_iterator. This iterator takes over most of what the Volta_repeat_iterator used to do.

Known issue: End-justified alternatives are not yet supported inside the repeat body: the end-repeat bar lines are incorrect. The legacy syntax must be used in that case.

If this is accepted, I will plan to document it along with \volta and \unfolded (#6066 (closed)).
