Issue 662: Request: implement max-system-count property
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=662

New issue report by v.villenave:
max-system-count will set the maximum permissible number of
systems on a page.

system-count requires a fixed number of systems on a page.
max-system-count would limit the maximum number of systems, but would allow
fewer systems if the spacing algorithms decided there should be fewer, or
if there were fewer systems left in the score.

Here is an example of how system-count can fall short:

%%%%%  Begin snippet

\paper{
 system-count = 4
}

{
 \repeat unfold 7 {c1 \break}
}

%%%%%% End snippet

I would like this example to give a two-page layout: 4 systems on the first
page, 3 on the second.  Instead, it gives me a one-page layout, with one
measure on the first 3 systems and 4 on the last.

(note from the BugMeister: would it be possible to have min-system-count as
well?)
