Brush flip/rotate functions ineffective on diagonal/straight line presets

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Since diagonal and straight-line brushes are trivially flippable (in theory; 
just change the brush type) and rotatable, the rotate and flip functions should 
work for these brush types. Currently they do nothing.

They have an effect, they rotate the "last brush that you picked". You only see 
the result if you "restore" the color brush (right-click on one of the 
brush-grab buttons).
But you're right, for a lot of built-in brushes, rotate and flip would be 
suitablably useful and it would be more WYSIWYG  to affect the current 
paintbrush instead.

Currently, several brush shortcuts seem to be completely ignored in this case :
outline (O)
nibble (shift-O)
halve (H), double (shift-H), double width (shift-X), double height (shift-Y)
