Axis Rotate:

A lot of players (I guess coming from Space Engineers) requested a way to rotate blocks on a different axis.

This feature does not mesh well with the logic of starship-evo (with the rescale and lack of voxel) but I opted for a workaround that should meet this need:

A few shapes (like the wedge or some mechanism) can now be placed "sideways" with ALT-rotate (or rebind the new axis-rotate key).

If you think some blocks would benefit from this please tell me, implementation is manual though so I will do it only when it make a lot of sense.

Brick with sideways shape for now: wedge, piston, rotator
