Flip powered special T-junction textures to match regular rails

* Utilize the minetest 5.9.0 API that uses radians not degree.
* Simplify computations to make this more efficient, in particular by querying and updating the bone position less frequently.
* Resolves minetest warning `Deprecated call to set_bone_position, use set_bone_override instead` in this location, but other uses remain.
* `mcl_util.set_bone_position` not modified, because it redundantly compares to the previous rotation once more.
