Ability to change font size of chords in only selected measures

I'd like to be able to make chords smaller or larger in certain bars without affecting the size of the rest of the chords in the score. For example, if there are many chords in a measure and stretching the bar still doesn't allow enough room to fit all the chords.

It turns out it was trivially easy to add this support to a recent PR:

https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/pull/849

The mechanism would be to allow you to apply any text style - including a custom one you create with whatever font and positioning characteristics you like - to selected chord symbols, using the Inspector.

Before this PR can be merged, We still need to make an implementation decision on whether or not it is OK to suppress the "style" tags for text elements using the default style, and to update the tests either way.
