Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem?**
Currently, trying to flip or rotate the entire map is a bit cumbersome. Having an easy way to do it would be appreciated.

**Describe the solution you'd like**
A `Transform Map...` dialogue, similar to `Move Map...` with options to flip/rotate tiles, with an optional preview of the result.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing "Move Map..." dialogue and tracing how map-wide tile operations are handled. Use that flow to define the Transform Map dialogue, including flip and rotate options and the optional preview; the work is done when the entire map can be transformed through this dialogue.
