[MusicXML import] fermatas on barlines

[craigsapp]

Your idea

When importing MusicXML data containing fermatas on barliness, the fermatas are ignored.

See MusicXML documentation for barlines, where up to two fermatas are allowed as child elements of <barline>: https://www.w3.org/2021/06/musicxml40/musicxml-reference/elements/barline

Example of a fermata on a barline from the MusicXML documentation:

The above MusicXML file containing <fermata> as a child of <barline> renders as:

in Musescore 4.1.1. There should be a fermata above the top staff on the ending barline, and a fermata below the bottom staff on the ending barline as well.

Prior art

Finale 27.2.0 renders the same MusicXML example data as expected:

[craigsapp]

Also note that <fermata> can occur twice as a child of <barline> (https://www.w3.org/2021/06/musicxml40/musicxml-reference/elements/barline). This is to allow for a fermata both above and below a barline at the same time.
