Allow bond orders other than single bond order have stereo option too #39

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently, only full bond order has stereo option. In case of μ-amido-μ-hydroxobis(tetramminecobalt)(4+), if we want to draw NH₃, then we need to choose half bond order and not having stereo option. image image

@deadlyvices what are your thoughts on this please?

I think it just leads to confusion as there is no way to visually distinguish between half bonds with stereo set. I suggest we leave things as they are for now

I propose an alternative solution. Allow changing valence in atom properties with options, off, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. A visual cue would be presented in the upper right corner to indicate a change in valence(in the editor only). This way, we would have a visual cue in the editor and achieving the same result. image
