[0.17.76] Default Orientation of entities is inconsistent

tldr: while most entities face towards the north on the default orientation, some other like chemical plants or inserters are facing towards the south instead. This makes the rotation experience inconsistent when playing the game.

This is just the way those specific entities are defined in the prototype, nothing specific inside the engine

Changing them would flip them for all current factories and save games, so for instance, all inserters would then be the wrong way around

I will move this to ideas and suggestions
