Create a \tuplet function to complement \times and tupletSpannerDuration

Here is its DOC string:

Scale the given @var{music} to tuplets.  @var{ratio} is a
fraction that specifies how many notes are played in place of the
nominal value: it will be @samp{3/2} for triplets, namely three notes
being played in place of two.  If the optional @var{duration} is
specified, it is used for initializing @code{tupletSpannerDuration}.
For example,
@example
\tuplet 3/2 4 { c8 c c c c c }
@end example
will result in two groups of three tuplets, each group lasting for a
quarter note.  The value of @code{tupletSpannerDuration} is retained
as default if it is set in this manner.  Clearing it can be achieved
by specifying @samp{1*0} as @var{duration}.

Also:
Let input/regression/auto-beam-tuplets.ly use \tuplet


There has been an extensive discussion about the tuplet project on the
developer mailing list.  To be honest, I don't remember the details
but it would appear that nothing that actually entered LilyPond came
of it.  So let's get the ball rolling again.
