Title: Measure tool xy

Measure tool additions including allowing the measure tool ruler to linger after a mouse-up, to optionally display X and Y deltas for the ruler on canvas, and to keep track of snapped endpoints.

In a little while, though, a rework should remove the floating windows entirely, uncluttering the main canvas, and allow the measure tool to stay active during editing, updating and following snapped points.
