Description

The base implementation notes that you can "Augment pattern data with rotations and reflections."
I don't think you need reflections for the circuit problem but you might run into it with more complex setup.

Let's assume you don't need reflections.
For rotations you need to have 4 letters that indicate the orientation of the piece.

For this issue let's call them :
- S -> straight
- L -> rotated 90° to the left
- F -> "flipped" but really it's rotated 180°
- R -> rotated 90° to the right

So this tile :
![4](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/6383717/165170799-f486d23f-3919-4be4-bdf1-70ce30269eaf.png)

would have edges 4S, 2, 4S, 0

And this one :
![5](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/6383717/165170893-5cb8e058-7ba7-48ba-b9ca-49da56452140.png)

would have : 4S, 1, 1, 4R

Now the complicated bit is that you have to account for that whenever you are rotating a piece.
For a Left (90°) rotation :
- every S becomes L
- every L becomes F
- every F becomes R
- every R becomes S

This also fixes the problem of having 5.png left edge connecting to a 4S the wrong way because it will never be a 4S AND a top facing edge at the same time.
