EngravingItem::connectSharedItem now rejects chords before creating shared-item links. Fermata handling resolves chord origins to their up notes and accepts barline anchors when checking shared linkage.

@miiizen Ties may linger on the incorrect staff when stave allocation changes.

In the attached score fermata.mscz.zip:

1. Toggle stave sharing on
   Result: Cls.1–2 (voice 1) and Cl.3 (voice 2) on a single staff. All OK.
2. Toggle stave sharing off.
3. Delete the fermata for Cl.2
4. Toggle stave sharing on.
   Result: Cls.1–2 on staff 1 in separate voices, but Cl.3's tie is incorrectly duplicated on this staff. Relayout fixes the issue.

This may be due to something unrelated, but the fermata-on-barline steps seem to be a reliable way of provoking the issue.
