cross-staff stem avoidance for dynamics.

That's cool that it works with automatic beams...rarely does one of my  
patches work when I thought it wouldn't (usually it's the opposite).

It only avoids one stem because there's no way for it to know the  
horizontal position of neighboring stems (it's a pre-line-breaking  
calculation).

Turning it off is a bit complicated...the callback is chained on in the  
engraver, so it'd best be regulated through a context property.  That's  
kinda kludgy, though.  In general, I'm not a fan of the function  
chain_offset_callback - I'd rather that the functionality this adds be part  
of some function in output-lib.scm that could be rewritten.  Otherwise, it  
is very inaccessible to users (users would have to rewrite the entire  
engraver to avoid it).
