Dropping items on entities doesn't trigger any events

There is a fairly specific handling of dropping items on entities where only one item is fast-transferred.
However neither on_player_fast_transferred or on_player_dropped_item triggers when this happens.

Change event fast-transferred

I would prefer that on_player_fast_transferred triggered when this happens and that it was extended with a boolean::is_dropped similar to is_split


I don't know if it is a bug or a missing feature?

I also have a use case for this (checking module changes).

My current workaround is making a check for changes during on_player_cursor_changed, but that's inefficient and a bit hacky.
