Using rotated areas in filtered searches

[AckEmma]

I've been developing a mod that places tiles under entities and knew I'd have some trouble with curved rails.
I've seen others make bitmasks for rails specifically but I wanted to be able to have it work for any entity (including ones with secondary bounding boxes with orientation).

I've found that `find_tiles_filtered` doesn't correctly take the orientation still even though `find_entities_filtered` does.

/c for _,e in pairs(game.surfaces[1].find_entities_filtered{area={left_top={0.1,-9.9},right_bottom={9.9,19.9},orientation=0.1}}) do e.destroy() end

I've gotten around this by programming my own version of `find_tiles_filtered` that makes special calls to the builtin after apply the orientation to the bounding box using a rotation matrix but anticipate that it would be much slower than any builtin method.

When BoundingBox Orientation support was added in 1.1.82 was it only for `find_entities_filtered` or meant to be for all functions that used BoundingBox in that way?
