[MC-178123] Piglins can "sense" soul fire through solid walls and retreats, even if they can't see them

Piglins can somehow be repelled by soul fire (but not zombified piglins) through walls although they can't visually see soul fire through walls.

How to Reproduce

Build a wall with the center being hollow
Summon piglin
Turn on subtitles
Place soul fire
→ ❌ Piglin retreats appear

I think its more of a feature than a bug. sure, it doesn't follow real-life logic, but these are creatures from another dimension, so you wouldn't really expect them to follow all the rules of the over world. perhaps they share a psychic link with the fungus, idk.

This is intentional for hoglins and warped fungi, see MC-172399. This might also be intentional for respawn anchors and nether portals if they have an odor that hoglins dislike.

Piglins react differently when afraid of something, as they will still attack you next to things they're afraid of unlike hoglins, so I don't think it's intentional for piglins.
