[MC-259987] Damage command only issues knockback if it was done by an entity

Steps to reproduce/explanation:

a player being given damage from an entity causes knockback from the direction the damage was coming from:

/damage @p 3 minecraft:fly_into_wall by @e[sort=nearest,limit=1,type=!player]

however, if the location is signalled, no damage is given:

/damage @p 3 minecraft:fly_into_wall at ~1 ~ ~

This behaviour hasn't really been defined, but I think it would make sense for the 'at' signifier to declare the location the damage was dealt from.

Can confirm in 1.19.4-rc3, but it might intended

If this is by design, the "at" syntax has no purpose; if it were left out, I'd agree.

I've updated this old issue with the recent knockback changes, I was going to check if this was fixed. some of the little details have changed, but the outcome remains inconsistent
