bail out of make_sign_texture is the node is unknown

minor re-factor as needed for that
don't store entities statically, let the LBM generate them.

this works around Minetest's reload-positioning inaccuracy at very large
positive or negative X/Z coords (tested -18000/+18000 at all four corners,
both new signs and after reboot)
