[MC-80901] Landed Falling Block does not trigger redstone updates for block entities (Command Blocks, ...)

When for example a command block as FallingSand falls next to a block providing a redstone signal, it won't update.

Example command

/summon falling_block ~ ~2 ~ {Block:stone,Time:1,Passengers:[{id:"falling_block",Block:redstone_block,Time:1,Passengers:[{id:"falling_block",Block:command_block,TileEntityData:{Command:"say Test"},Time:1}]}]}

When you place a block next to it, it will say "Test".

Note: It appears that this only affects block entities. Here are some examples:

Affected blocks:

Dispenser
Dropper
Command block

Unaffected blocks:

Rails (Activator and golden)
Redstone lamp
Piston

Fallingsand is an entity, it doesn't conduct anything.

He means when it lands and solidifies into an actual command block, the redstone doesn't power it until you give it a block update.

Confirmed for 1.12 pre-3.

_{For the example command in the bugpost to work now, it should be updated to:}

summon falling_block ~ ~2 ~ {Block:stone,Time:1,Passengers:[{id:"falling_block",Block:redstone_block,Time:1,Passengers:[{id:"falling_block",Block:command_block,TileEntityData:{Command:"say Test"},Time:1}]}]}

Merging with MC-51340 as it's the same cause.
