[MCPE-190419] New cow model does not match Java Edition

The Java Edition version of this report is MC-280159.

The new Cow model introduced for the Spring Drop is different on Java and Bedrock Edition. On Bedrock, the front of the body sticks out over the legs, while on Java, the front legs are flush with the body.

This affects all cow variants, but it is most clear with the Temperate Cow.

Can confirm

The fix for this is to change the z-value in the "cubes" "origin" of the leg2 and leg3 bones from -8 to -9 within the vanilla resource files:
models\entity\cow.warm.geo.json
models\entity\cow.cold.geo.json
models\entity\cow.v2.geo.json

I can confirm GoldenHelmet's proposed fix.

In addition, it is not necessary to adjust the "pivot" points for the front legs, as the pivots are already aligned correctly. Only the "origin" field should be changed.
