[MC-269995] Maces cannot be enchanted with sharpness

Maces cannot be enchanted with sharpness. However, it can be enchanted with smite and bane of arthropods. Knockback is another enchantment that cannot be enchanted, since Wind Burst is an alternative to it. Looting cannot be enchanted on the mace. Maces are not swords.

Seems intentional based off of the changelog:

These existing enchantments can now be applied to the Mace:
Mending
Unbreaking
Smite
Bane of Arthropods
Fire Aspect
Curse of Vanishing

With my previous comment in mind, I can confirm.
