Invalid Zone filling if a foorprint's text is rotated

Description

In pcbnew, when a text element of a footprint (for example the reference or the value) is moved to copper layer (for example TOP copper layer) and rotated, filling of a zone on this text is invalid (look like if the text rotation is not detected by fill zone system):

Example:

Capture_d_écran_du_2022-05-31_17-00-33

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open pcbnew without any pcb
  2. Add any footprint
  3. Change footprint reference layer from F.Silkscreen to F.Copper/F.Cu.
  4. To have more clear effect, change the content of the text to a long value (more than 4 chars)
  5. Rotate this text/reference
  6. Add a zone around the text on same copper layer
  7. Fill zone

Then filling exclusion around the text is made "as if" the text was not rotated.
