  PierSide is used if it is available to manage pier flip.

TEST PLAN
  Run with mount simulators and real mounts if possible to check:
  Will a mount with PierSide flip?
  If the mount flip is delayed and the flip attempt does not change
  pier side is it retried after 4 minutes?
  If the mount flips early and a slew close to the meridian is already
  on the E->W side is no flip attempt made?
  A flip should also be done at an hour angle of 12h as the mount tracks a
  circumpolar object passing under the pole.
  
  If the mount does not report PierSide the flip should still work as before but
  there will be no retry if the flip fails.
  
  The new Telescope Simulator can be used but will need the simulator options
  enabled.
