Related to use case of OSGeo/gdal#7753
When a transformation involved a datum shift with a grid and a geocentric CRS as source/target, since PROJ 9.2.0 and the changes for the only_best mode, even in just warning mode, if the grid of the "best" transformation was missing, then the transformation would completely fail, whereas with earlier versions it would fallback to a ballpark transformation. So restore that mode, and actually enhance the operation selection logic, by allowing to select operations based on their area of validity even if the input coordinate are geocentric (in which case a conversion of them to geographic is done).
