[MC-108254] Evokers don't change sheep color with the mobGriefing gamerule disabled

If changing sheep color were to be considered mob griefing, so would mobs attacking other (friendly) mobs on their own. Therefore, either the following behaviors have to be made dependent on the mobGriefing gamerule or evokers have to be able to change sheep color even with the mobGriefing gamerule disabled:

Wolves attacking sheep/skeletons
Zombie(villager)s/husks/illagers attacking villagers
Various other behaviors that are not as obviously griefing as the above 2

The class that handles the sheep transformation spell contains a very explicit:

if (!EntityEvoker.this.world.getGameRules().getBoolean("mobGriefing"))
{
    return false;
}

... before moving on to search for sheep to be transformed.
