[MC-56229] Sprint scoreboards won't increase after sprint-attacking (with the sprint key held down)

The bug

If you sprint attack an entity and hold down your sprint key (for me, it's SHIFT), you will continue to sprint, but the scoreboard will not increase. It's only when you resprint that it will start increasing again.

Confirmed. I suspect this is because attacking ends your sprint when not holding down the sprint key.

Confirmed for 1.13.1.

How to reproduce

Add a scoreboard, set it display and add yourself to the scoreboard with score of 0.
```
/scoreboard objectives add attackSprint minecraft.custom:minecraft.sprint_one_cm
/scoreboard objectives setdisplay sidebar attackSprint
/scoreboard players add @p attackSprint 0
```
Spawn a cow, start attacking it while sprinting.
Observe how the score will stop increasing after the first hit while you are still sprinting.
