[MC-199315] Unable to escape block bound box when you have levitation and holding shift

In 1.16.2 when you have levitation and are shifting you are unable to float off the block you are on. This is possible in 1.15.2 and you are able to walk off it but not in 1.16.2

Recreation

Open 1.16.2 go into a world with cheats enabled.
Then find a drop of a few blocks
Place a block above you head
Give yourself levitation `effect give @s levitation 10000`
Hold down shift and try walk off the block.

Levitation 255 is not supported, see MC-10755.

Thanks for your help, but that's not really helpful, is it?

This will of course also work with normal levity, you just need a block above your head to stop you from gaining height.

I Have updated by bug report to explain how todo this without levitation 255.
