Editing Using an extra voice for breaks

Often it is easier to manage line and page-breaking information by keeping it separate from the music by introducing an extra voice containing only skips along with the <code>\break</code>, <code>\pageBreak</code>, and other layout information.

This pattern becomes especially helpful when overriding <code>line-break-system-details</code> and the other useful but long properties of the <code>NonMusicalPaperColumn</code> grob.
