[MC-171852] Putting item in a spectator's hand plays sound "Gear equips" for other players

The bug

If you use a command to equip an item to a spectator's hands, other players can hear a noise, despite the fact spectators essentially aren't supposed to exist, let alone make noises.

It also happens for other game modes, but I'd assume it's intended to happen to non-spectators.
So yeah, if there's a command block constantly modifying a spectator's hand, it'll make really loud noises, and so I think this is a pretty bad bug.

Hello Chandler. I see you have edited my ticket. Did the bug change, last time I checked it was offhand only.

I did some testing and yes, it now includes the mainhand. I also updated the game mode, added the new affects versions and confirmed your ticket 🙂

Thank you for coming through, I haven't been able to test in a very long time.

Here is a clip of this bug happening in a datapack that I am working on for reference: https://clips.twitch.tv/ExquisiteAuspiciousLionKAPOW

I believe that the problem comes from net.minecraft.entity.PlayerEntity#setItemStackToSlot does not check the player's gamemode before this.playEquipSound(stack)
