Summary
Bugfixes "New appliances have correct owner"
Purpose of change
Newly created appliances belong to NULL faction currently, until the player grabs them. With no owner, they can't be used for zone binding.
Fixes #77209
Describe the solution
Set the owner of newly created appliances to the [faction of the] character that [took the last step of the process that] created them.
Describe alternatives you've considered
place_appliance could return the vehicle, then the caller could decide if and how to set the owner, but this was suggested against on Discord.
Testing
I've tested the case described in the linked issue and the bug is gone. There's no obvious misbehavior when creating wiring, but I can't find a game mechanic that confirms the ownership either. I haven't been able to test the other two cases.
