Transforming the bugs away

- Fix arm interaction point client-side deserialization and
initialization issues
- Fix sequenced gearshift structure rotation
- Fix encased cogwheel rotation, mirroring, and structure transformation
- Add ITransformableBlock to allow custom handling of
StructureTransforms
- Remove DirectionHelper
- Add jarJarRelease Gradle task for building a jarJar without a
classifier
