[MC-136112] /forceload cannot be run by functions or command blocks

The new `/forceload` command replaces and improves upon `/chunk` however it still cannot be run from functions or command blocks. Attempting to use this command inside a function will results in the attached parser error.

The assumption is that, because the command was rewritten to allow for relative coordinates, it should be runnable by functions and command blocks.

So that only the server owner can use it. It could really bring any server to its knees very easily.

What if a map maker wants to, say, teleport a marker armor stand thousands of blocks away and perform actions through the armor stand later? The chunk will not be loaded any more and the armor stand cannot be accessed through execute. I don't see why there is a limitation to this. If the server owner decides to add some random data pack or give someone a command block, they WILL have consequences. One command doesn't make a difference.

"Put the server on its knees" can be any other console command.

Maybe prohibit execute?
