forceFlying has unintuitive priority over forceSwimming #49
Describe the bug
A token with both a flying speed and a swimming speed will automatically switch to flying movement at elevation 0 even when in water terrain.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Create a token with a flying speed of 60 and a swimming speed of 90
Place down water terrain
Place the token in the terrain
Drag the token around and notice how it uses its flying speed instead of swimming speed
Expected behavior
The token has a swimming and flying speed so both forceFlying and forceSwimming can apply. Since the token being in water terrain is an explicit requirement for forceSwimming, it should take priority over the less explicit forceFlying.
Notes
There is of course no solution that would automate everything exactly like the user wants, the module can't read intentions. Sometimes you might want the token to swim when in water and sometimes you might want to have it immediatelly fly out of it. The automatic movement mode merely attempts to cover the most common cases in an intuitive way, any edge cases can be 'fixed' by the user by simply switching to their desired movement speed manually.
