[MC-64678] Farmland and dirt path are rendered too dark when surrounded by solid blocks with Smooth Lighting enabled

When you surround farmland by a solid block it gets a shadow and renders darker.
That makes it difficult to see if it is hydrated or not.
This only happens with smooth lighting turned on.

Hi, now that i've seen some bugs marked as WAI are being reopened recently, maybe i can request a review for this issue as well? seeing how issues like MC-139621, MC-138211, and others have also some similarities and are being triaged, then i think this one should apply too.

Apparently this behavior is caused by a wrong lighting calculation that causes farmlands and grass paths to render too dark, making them look muddy. Sodium renderer fixes this calculation and makes those blocks to look how they should, so i'll attach some pictures in case the team reconsider it.
