Change how voxel aircraft shadows decide when to "tilt" #20739

Since we have voxel actor tilting on slopes, shadows have been trying to match them. This also holds true for aircraft, which don't tilt on slopes, but their shadows try to. The problem is shadows don't fall directly downwards and there are visible issues even with the slight offset in TS. Mods with a bigger offset would likely look worse. ts_aircraft_tilting_shadows

Shadows should be "tilting" based on their own position on the ground rather than the aircraft's projected position.

Shadows are also incorrectly defined for non-tilting vehicles, such as titan
