Make automatic_rotate relative, allow setting rotation (#8468)

automatic_rotate does not make sense if it is absolute. Make it relative.

To avoid bouncing, set_rotation did not update the client when automatic_rotate was set. That's no longer necessary because the new spinning method applies the rotation on top of the current one, and the updates are necessary for set_rotation to actually transform the object.
