Subject: [PATCH] Tab stops: Shift snaps to the ruler's binary inch ticks

`shift_drag_snaps_a_stop_to_the_nearest_tick` landed while this branch was out
and asserts the tick an inch ruler used to carry: "the ticks are a tenth of an
inch (7.2 pt) apart", snapping 100 pt to 100.8. That tenth is what this change
removes -- an inch ruler divides the inch in half, not in ten.

The nearest tick to 100 pt is now 99 pt: 1 3/8 in, an eighth of an inch from
1 1/4. The test says so, and also asserts the result is a binary fraction of an
inch rather than a particular number, so it holds if the ladder is retuned.
