[MC-103430] Vines breaking too slow (enchanted shears)

Breaking vines with shears with Efficiency V is still as slow as using normal shears.
The enchantment-effect does not work for vines.
In addition axes cannot successfully break vines, but efficiency works for them.

Since shears don't break vines any faster than a bare hand, Efficiency doesn't take effect.

Shears should do that, since they are the only tool to break vines.

@unknown, you mean "to get the vines", as you can break with any tool/bare hands. Also, axes can do it faster and they are affected by efficiency.

Can we agree on: "It is a bug and cannot be a feature."?
