[2.1.8] LogisticContainerPrototype.robot_door.animation has type Animation instead of Animation4Way

[Atria]

...therefor it is not possible to specify different animations for each direction of rotatable logistic container.

Make RobotDoorSpecification.animation as a Animation4Way

With Container and ProxyContainer rotatable, the robot door for logistic container has always to be in the center. For a rectangular container it would be convinient to be able to reuse a animation and just shift it in place. Currently rotating a rectangular container results in something like that on the left

Its not just making robot_door animation be Animation4Way, it would also require specifying location_offset for each direction which makes this slightly more complicated. Maybe having independent array of extra offsets that would shift the sprite and location_offset at the same time was easier to implement without making this more complicated.

Oh, I didn't even notice the CargoHatchDefinition.offset...I would just use the SpriteParameters.shift for each orientation of the animation.

Having array of offsets while keeping one Animation would work in my case.

I'd just be worried that someone else asks for actually different animations for each orientation.

Yeah that would work for me.
