Description
Task
Right now, arrow keys move a selected by 0.1sp (and holding Ctrl/Cmd while doing so moves by 1sp).
Add a way for users to change these nudge amounts in Preferences.

Research direction
Start by locating the arrow-key nudge handling and the Preferences UI in MuseScore. Confirm where the default 0.1sp and Ctrl/Cmd 1sp amounts are defined, then trace how preference values are stored and applied. Done means both amounts can be changed in Preferences and arrow-key nudging uses the configured values.
