A target whose faction template the server swaps live (35 to 14, neither naming a faction group) kept its friendly plate colour: `UNIT_FACTION` fired only when the pvp, FFA, faction-group or tapped state moved.
The reference's per-field watch fires `UNIT_FACTION` on any change of `UNIT_FIELD_FACTIONTEMPLATE`, as it fires `UNIT_FLAGS` for that field. `fire_transitions` now also fires it on the faction template's edge.
Test: `a_live_faction_template_change_recolours_the_target_plate`.
From #855 by @kalistoking, landed here because the fork refuses maintainer pushes.
