[MC-305563] Wolves can remain angry after killing a skeleton

When I was playing the game, I suddenly noticed that after killing a skeleton, the angry expression remained for a while before disappearing, whereas in previous versions it disappeared immediately.

I was able to recreate this on version 1.21.4 as well, I think the pathfinding of the wolf takes a few seconds to reset, which is why this is happening.

Can confirm in 26.1 snapshot 5

I found a way to recreate this bug in 26.1 Snapshot 6.

Spawn a wolf and feed it a bone.
Spawn a sheep nearby and kill it after the wolf gets angry but before the wolf kills it.

Note that this method only works sometimes. In other times, the wolf becomes calm.
