[3.0] Setting negative x scale on a node with a skeleton/big hierarchy flips scale every frame.

[Boothand]

Operating system or device, Godot version, GPU Model and driver (if graphics related):
Win7 x64, Godot 3.0

Issue description:

scale = Vector2(-1, 1) flips my character every frame, alternating between 1 and -1, and it happens on the Y axis.
Using set_scale(-1, 1) does the same but on the X axis.

Steps to reproduce:
Open example project I attached, open Stork.tscn and run that scene, check the script on the root node.

Link to minimal example project:

Stork 2, scale glitch.zip

Seems to be because move() is called as well. Duplicate of #5929

Still a bit of an issue, since flipping sprites isn't going to be very manageable with a skeleton hierarchy like this? Also, scale = Vector(1, -1) has expected results, just not on the X axis.

I'm going to close this as a duplicate of #12335 since the latter has more activity. If it is not a duplicate, feel free to comment here and we will reopen it.

As a workaround for the mentioned problem, try putting the whole visual hierarchy inside a Node2D inside the KinematicBody2D. That way, you can have separate visual and physics scale.
