[MC-270098] Mobs killed by /damage with type set to wither don't drop wither roses

Using /damage with the damage type wither or wither_skull to kill a mob results in no wither rose dropping.

Reproduce:

1. Prepare a mob to get damaged

/summon chicken ~ ~ ~ {NoAI:1b}

2. Run a damage command targeting the mob with the damage type set to wither or wither_skull

/damage @e[type=chicken,limit=1,sort=nearest] 10 minecraft:wither

You'll see that the chicken dies but no wither rose drops.

In order for mobs to drop or have wither roses placed upon their death, they need to be killed by a wither mob. This mechanic is unrelated to the wither effect. For instance, executing the command

/damage @e[type=minecraft:chicken,limit=1] 10 minecraft:wither_skull by @e[type=minecraft:wither,limit=1]

will result in the mob dropping or placing a wither rose.
