[MC-312571] Certain data components can no longer not play a sound

26.4 snapshot 4 removed the minecraft:intentionally_empty sound event, which means that any previously optional sound event fields with a default value can no longer not play a sound.
Affected data components:

minecraft:consumable, which has a default of minecraft:entity.generic.eat for the sound field.
minecraft:equippable, which has a default of minecraft:item.armor.equip_generic for the equip_sound field and a default of minecraft:item.shears.snip for the shearing_sound field.

Workaround for regression, use empty sound event with ”:” to suppress client side warnings, or one of the empty sounds without subtitles;

{sound_id: “:”}
block.fungus.fall
entity.cod.ambient
entity.salmon.ambient
entity.snow_golem.ambient
entity.tropical_fish.ambient
music.nether.warped_forest
