[MCPE-17446] Wither does not use all 3 heads to attack

DEVICE: Samsung Galaxy Tab A

When the Wither has multiple targets in its detection range, it is supposed to be able to utilze all three heads to attack up to three targets at once. However, it currently does not do that. It only uses its main head.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1. Spawn in a Wither.
2. Spawn in as many mobs that it will target as you want.
3. Watch as it only attacks one mob at a time.

Due to the vast differences between the Java edition and MCPE Wither behaviors, it is difficult to determine whether this is a bug or just WAI.

I think this is intended, since most mobs like iron golems attack one opponent at a time
