Connectors Enter at TWSC Intersections

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This task will be complete when centroid connectors (but not external stations) 
intersect the network at 2 way stops

Started this and implemented a simple version, but it looks like Dynameq 
doesn't understand the priorities, and I'll have to make a custom priorities 
file.

I implemented custom priorites in Revision 65f7d64f9e58, but as it turned out, 
I don't think I needed to, at least for this.

When I added the TWSC flags at these nodes, the GUI did not show the priorities 
being used (it didn't show the centroids yielding to the road links, and showed 
that I always had "customized" the priorities there), so I initially thought I 
needed to implement custom priorities.

After testing, however, I found this in the Dynameq documentation: 
"If a value of follow-up time other than −1 is specified for any movement at 
a node, the Customize option will be automatically set for the specified 
priority template at this node and the user-defined values of follow-up time 
will be used in place of those specified by the template. All movements at the 
node for which −1 is specified for the follow-up time will receive the 
follow-up time specified by the priority template (if applicable)."

Then I found that when Network._split is called, it sets the follow-up time as 
1.0 seconds, so that was what was interfering with the priorities.  I reset it 
to be the default and the priorities are now not "customized", so they are 
behaving as expected: the lower facility type (the connectors) yield to the 
higher facility type (the street).
