Some chemical plant recipes allow flipping

TL;DR

Some blueprints with chemical plants could be flipped

What ?

Recipes with the same liquid in both pipes allow the chemical plant to be flipped (sulfur, solid fuel from light and heavy oil, lubricant, plastic, batteries and explosives).
If all chemical plants in the blueprint have a recipe and it is one of them, the blueprint can be flipped.

Why ?

To be able to flip 1/3 to 1/2 of the chemical plant blueprints.

On a related note, a flip_substitute type field might also make sense to allow an entity to specify a different entity in the same fast replaceable group that it would be legal to replace it with if the blueprint is flipped. For mods with mirror image versions of things like refineries or chemical plants.
