[MC-14850] Wrong minecart collision depending on rail direction

What I expected to happen was...:
Put minecarts side by side.

What actually happened was...:
If rails are on the Z axis (EAST-WEST), 3 minecarts cannot be placed on 3 consecutive rails.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Put 3 consecutive rails on the Z axis (this bug doesn't happen on X axis)
2. Try to place any minecart (not all tested, at least storage minecarts and rideable minecarts) on these three rails
3. Notice that they are pushed, without any energy.

No response for over a year.

This might be caused by MC-57896 since minecarts use their rotation to determine whether or not they should push an offset minecart.

Please fix this, it makes creating reliable parallel lines with minecarts a chore to potentially impossible in some cases. It is an inconvenience that in turn has extremely negative consequences when beginning or trying to work with minecarts.

Fixed in the 24w33a+ minecart experiment. The minecarts no longer push each other:
