affects both 2.0.3 and 3.0.0 676b0a3.

Reproduction Steps:
1. Drag Repeat Measure to any measure
2. Click on augmentation dot

CRASH!!!

When reproducing my own branch in windows 10 Home from qtcreator, I get a SIGFPE (Arithmetic exception), but I can't copy and paste the stack trace because the bug crashed QtCreator as well! Fortunately, I grabbed a screenshot:

One possible easy fix would be to disable augmentation dot for repeat measure. It might even be a good idea to prohibit setting repeat measure to the other durations as well, since repeat measure currently doesn't understand anything other than a measure duration. However, maybe eventually we want to allow #127396: Simile Marks inside measure to indicate repeat previous beat (playback & display) & MusicXML i/o for "beat-repeat" & "slash" in which case might want to allow changing repeat measure duration (and maybe even change the name from "RepeatMeasure" to "SimileMark".)

Also I can crash by selecting the repeat measure element and pressing '8' to change duration to longa, which will fail this assert:

Fatal: ASSERT: "e == 0 || e->type() == Element::Type::CHORD" in file C:\Users\Eric\Documents\GitHub\MuseScore\libmscore\element.h, line 778 (:0, )

When getting #21649: [MusicXML] Repeat measure sign not exported or imported working, I was using a simple int in RepeatMeasure to represent the number of measures that it covers. Now that I'm starting to implement #10220: Add a two and four measure (multi-measure) repeat sign with playback, I'm exploring whether to store the duration of the measure repeat as the inherited Rest's duration. I'm going to treat the duration type as V_MEASURE...anyway I don't know if representing multi-measure durations as type V_MEASURE is an abuse of that type or not. But anyway, if I go that route, I might be able to fix the longa & double-longa part of this crash, by simply treating them as V_MEASUREs of durations that are multiple of a measure (based on the time signature of the starting measure of the multi-measure repeat). Anyway, I might also disable the use of augmentation dots for RepeatMeasures as well.

argh...gave up on #3 ...was causing my tests to fail, so I'm going back to using a simple int instead of trying to use the Fractional duration to represent the number of measures covered, so disregard #3.

Again, simplest solution is just prohibit changing duration of RepeatMeasure elements, although I was hoping to somehow incorporate that into multi-meas repeats or simile marks.

Note that pressing Q or W on a repeat measure element will also cause this same crash.

In my PR for #10220: Add a two and four measure (multi-measure) repeat sign with playback, I'm going to have Q & W be the only supported ways to change the duration of repeat measure element, and I will forbid changing duration any other manner (since doesn't make logical sense for an entity that can only be a pos int number of measures.
