Automatic slash for slashedGrace and acciaccatura

By default, LilyPond adds a slash to slashedGrace and acciaccatura only in the case of a single grace note, but not when dealing with a group of beamed grace notes. This function automatically adds slashes in those other cases.

\version "2.24.0"

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% slash function %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

%% Approver's remark:
%% The trigonometric stuff may be simplified by the use of the 
%% new functions like ly:length, ly:directed and ly:angle
%% available since 2.19.48
