Blocks & Decoration mount stations; areas to equip mounts

[skyblade57]

so, I was playing 1.3 with my beloved pigron captain piggles, when I finally got a cosmic car key, I knew it was better than the pigron (infinite versus around 175 tiles) but, captain piggles has been with me most of hardmode, and I wish I could A: have it as vanity over the cosmic car key (but that's been suggested before) or B: display captain piggles in my world, so I present to you mount stations!\

I like the idea, though I'd prefer they just go the route of grappling hooks and make it so mounts are only usable in the slot/with hotkey. Then make them placeable without crafting

The closest to a similar idea I have seen is to be able to place them and they would wander like NPCs. (This was before we had any inanimate mounts ) Honestly I like both ideas, and don't know which I'd rather have.
