[MC-305655] Players can loose oxygen / drown when the game is frozen

Running /tick freeze and going underwater and bubbles will go down until you eventually take damage and die.

Given that the game is frozen, I would expect all timer-related things (like air time) to not tick down.

I tested on both 1.21.11 and 26.1 Snapshot 2, so it does affect both.
