8669385718 various readability improvements
in API.md, MODELS.md, and README.md

I also added a couple of things to API.md that I forgot to
document before.

ebeb035fac allow using "Sneak"/Shift to skip the on-pole/hanging/yard checks
(makes it possible to directly place a sign flat on the ground or
ceiling, among other things.)

3836215268 API changes to allow for more mounting styles
NODE NAMES:

The base name of a node can be whatever you want.  The basic wall sign
will keep the node name you give, while its hanging, on-pole, and yard
variants will, where applicable, use the same name, with "_onpole",
"_hanging", or "_yard" appended.

One exception:

If your node has "_wall" in its name, that bit will be stripped-out when
generating the above node variations.  For example:

"default:sign_wall_wood"

...will become...

"default:sign_wood_onpole"
"default:sign_wood_hanging"
"default:sign_wood_yard"

MODELS:

The base sign model and entity files must now be named:

sign:   mymod_foosign_wall.obj
        mymod_foosign_facedir_wall.obj

entity: mymod_foosign_entity_wall.obj

their other variants, where applicable, must be:

mymod_foosign_onpole.obj
mymod_foosign_hanging.obj
mymod_foosign_yard.obj

mymod_foosign_entity_onpole.obj
mymod_foosign_entity_hanging.obj
mymod_foosign_entity_yard.obj

For `facedir` signs, the "_facedir" in the base sign model filename is
automatically stripped from the name when generating the entity model
filename, as entities don't have a concept of wallmounted/facedir/etc.
For example:

"mymod_foosign_facedir_wall.obj"

...will become...

"mymod_foosign_entity_wall.obj"

* allow passing custom onpole, hanging, and yard sign models, for
situations where the filename(s) thereof can't be derived from the base
sign model filename.

* allow passing a custom pole mount, hanging, and yard sign stick
textures as the third, fourth, and fifth tiles{} entries, respectively
(independent of the above model file option)

* fine-tuned the pole mount on the standard sign models to eliminate
overlapping faces (so it looks better with basic_signs' glass sign.

* Move basic_signs wooden yard sign back to signs_lib.

6a4ddfddab attempt to work around engine player model bug
when the world loads and the player spawns in, or is
teleported to the same node space as a sign, occasionally, the
player's model goes flat and their skin gets changed to the
whatever the sign's text is.

Also, when checking if an entity needs spawned, or when
deleting, try to make absolutely sure that only sign-related
entities will be selected for re-use, or selected for deletion
(we don't want some player's prize cow to be deleted)

I think this will fix it, or at least it'll surely prevent
signs_lib from being able to cause it.

Also, moved another function to the entity-handling section of
the file and made it global (signs_lib namespace) in the
process.

project file as well, and added a copy of the standard pole
mount project file.

dcdee22265 allow mods to pass a function or just true
to the pole and horiz pole check routines, in case they need
their own, custom checking routines, if the usual, simple
checks aren't good enough.

got rid of the allowed-poles table, as it's now obsolete

moved all existing special code into compat.lua, altered to
use this feature.

77987d12b9 detect streets:bigpole_tjunction
Treat T-junction as a vertical or horizontal pole (depending
on its orientation), if the sign could be placed flat against
the back or side of the junction.

In this instance, the "front" of the junction is the side with
the middle bit sticking out, and will just get a regular wall
signif targeted, as with any non-pole node.

9502812088 Add necessary bits to allow signs to be placed onto horizontal poles
(both wooden and steel signs)

only streets mod's "bigpole" supported for now.

Model changes:

To make a sign support horizontal mounting, make a single "_onpole"
model, with two copies of the pole mount, one rotated by 90°.  Make sure
the second copy appears has its own material entry, and that it is last
in the materials list in the exported .obj (`grep "g " file.obj` to
check).

When registered, signs_lib will set the "_onpole" and "_onpole_horiz"
tiles{} to reveal one mount or the other: entry 3 will expose the
vertical mount, entry 4 is the horizontal copy, with the opposite entry
being set to the "blank" image.

f0bc18154e fix corner case
Placing a "wallmounted" sign onto a streets lamp would cause a
weird rotation if you're pointing downward too far.  Now it
enforces NESW direction according to your yaw.

Also fixes bad orientation when you're really close to a post.

906ddbbcc5 rotation fixups
* combine rotation functions -- one no longer needs to choose
  a particular rotation function for the node's paramtype2,
  it'll figure it out automatically.
* fix glitch in wallmounted rotation
* re-order rotation facing order to N, E, S, W, floor, ceiling.
* limit yard sign to simple NESW-only rotation
* allow rotation of hanging signs (NESW only)
* allow rotation of signs on poles/posts if there's nothing in
  the way of where the sign has to move to (NESW only).

4b2abfadce centralize entity handling
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)

a5e711d354 Use sign formspec to switch between wide/narrow font
if available on a given sign.  The sign must have a
"foo:bar_widefont" variant, with the horizontal scaling set
appropriately (about half of the normal value for the
narrow-font sign)

Add new corresponding API to anto-generate those signs where
desired; use this feature in default wood and steel signs

f6673dc0f1 added a proper register-sign API call
(see api.lua and standard_signs.lua for examples)

make selectionbox call now ignores the old onpole flag (it's automatic now)
removed debug print()'s
moved the signs-on-fences lbm settings to here, from basic_signs.
some misc cleanups

added reference models for standard wooden sign ("wallmounted" on wall,
"facedir" on wall, and pole-mount variants, using standard-size pole
mount), and a separate .blend with street_signs' OM3 sign on slim pole
mount.
