Anchor should snap to nearest anchor point when adjusting spanners with mouse

Project
- Drag a line (such as Prima Volta) to a measure in the score
- Double-click volta bracket
- Drag right anchor over two additional measures (notice dotted line indicating current anchor point)
Expect behavior: Anchor position should snap to closest measure for the new position.
Actual behavior: Anchor positions lock after dropping a line onto the score. Adjusting the handles afterward with the mouse leaves the anchor positions in place.
Discussion: Misunderstanding about anchors has come up several times of the forums (for one example see http://www.musescore.org/en/node/1563 ). I can't think of an instance where you would actually want the anchor position in a place other than the actual handle.

This does work as expected with barlines and system brackets.
It also works with some other elements, like dynamics. It's been discussed to disable it for those, IIRC
Came up again in https://musescore.org/en/node/151801, here to have it enabled for hairpins
Fixed in 3.5 Alpha: https://musescore.org/en/handbook/developers-handbook/release-notes/rel…
