[MC-99081] Boats rotate way too fast

The bug

Unlike all other methods of transportation, boats change your rotation when you turn them. I am pretty sure this is intended, as you can no longer look backwards in a boat (though this may be a bug itself thanks to the new boat controls since 15w49a). However at their maximum boats turn at 10 degrees per tick. That's one full revolution every 1.8 seconds. This may be nauseating for some players, as well as making the boats unnecessarily clumsier and harder to control.

How to reproduce

Show the debug screen (F3)
Get in a boat
Turn right
→ The azimuth should show a rotation of 10 degree increments per tick

Please do not mark unreleased versions as affected.
You don't have access to them yet.

This is incorrect I have access to 17w13b

yeah that bot is annoying with that message

Confirmed for 1.12.1

boat mechanics are seriously screwy in 18w10c

Yes, the boat rotating speed is VERY fast.

That snapshot just had weird boat mechanics. In the latest snapshot it is 10 degrees per tick at maximum, as it has been since 1.9

Presumably affects 19w45a. Unfortunately water doesn't work in this version.

Wait why WAI? I know that there were other things changed to make minecraft less nauseating so what's different about boats?

Seriously, this should be an accessibility consideration and I am disappointed that I have not received an explanation for this resolution.
