This adds an order type to reverse trains at waypoints. This is, admittedly, somewhat frivolous (teaching pathfinders to do similar might be more useful.)

Cherry-picked from jgrpp with conflicts and savegame changes resolved by me.

The train will reverse when its tail is within the waypoint tile.
This is useful for reversing on train en-route, without creating
dedicated reversing sidings or platforms.

For what it's worth I've implemented something along these lines in JGRennison/OpenTTD-patches@cd41683, the pathfinder part was unexpectedly non-trivial (YAPF-only, I've not bothered with OPF/NPF).

Yeah, the pathfinders are definitely not prepared for finding paths with reversing.

IIRC the last time we tried teaching the pathfinder about reversing we got stuck with trains having a non-zero length, and thus some options from the end of the line not being available (because the reversed train head would be beyond those)
