Expected behavior

Text on sign rotates when you use sonic screwdriver on sign

Actual behavior

Sign rotates, leaving text position unchanged

Steps to reproduce:

Start server with signs_lib and technic_plus
write text on sign
rotate with sonic screwdriver

Yeah, this is a side effect of the sonic screwdriver's intentionally bad design. The sonic screwdriver doesn't call the on_rotate callback, for the same reason it doesn't call can_dig. See also #267.

           -- contrary to the default screwdriver, do not check for can_dig, to allow rotating machines with CLU's in them 
        
           -- this is consistent with the previous sonic screwdriver

It's better just to use the omnidriver ;)

Sonic Screwdriver doesn't rotate sign text when using signs_lib
