[MC-264089] You don't take "outside_border" damage if you are taking suffocation damage

Steps to reproduce:
1) Go into spectator mode at the world border and go into survival mode after going as far as possible out
2) Compare this damage taken inside blocks, outside the border

Expected:
The suffocation and outside_border damage stack

Observed:
You only take the suffocation damage

I don't think any kinds of constant damage can "stack". It's not really clear what behavior you expect vs observe here

If you set the world border damage to a very large number, you can avoid this larger damage by suffocating since it takes less damage

Thanks, that helps! I'll try again

Can confirm in 24w04a. Relates to MC-102158.

Here are some clearer steps to reproduce:

Give the player regeneration for ease:

/effect give @p minecraft:regeneration infinite 255 true

Build a 3x3x3 structure of blocks to suffocate player ~30 or more blocks out from '0 0 0' (Generally just enough to do lots of damage to the player)
Use spectator to enter the center of that cube
Set the world border to 1, and raise it's damage
```
/worldborder set 1
```
```
/worldborder damage amount 19
```
Enter survival mode
→ player suffocates slowly
Break the block the player is suffocating in
→ Player instantly dies
