[MC-131014] Observers and block states not updated by tree growth

The bug

Observers do not update upon tree growth unless they were already observing the sapling.

Demonstration

Also, block states are not updated properly, for example fences do not start connecting.

This does not affect 1.12.2

I tested it out on 1.13-pre-1 and it worked, it even captured the sapling growth stages!

See the gif; it works with the sapling; it doesn't work with the log above the sapling

It says it's fixed in a future version. This should say 1.14.1+

Ely G 2019-05-08T01:16:34Z

confirmed fixed in 1.14.1pre1

This appears to still be an issue for 2x2 spruce trees in 1.14.2 pre2

Ely G 2019-05-18T05:43:49Z

I can't confirm this. It seems like 2x2 trees need the surrounding airspace in order to grow, so unfortunately I can't think of a way to test this. If you have direct evidence of this still occurring please do post it here

If 2x2 tree growth cannot be detected, please create a new ticket about that, as large trees are a special case.
