Updating the permutation of redstone-related blocks does not change redstone emission and source paths

Updating the direction of a redstone-related block through the Block.setPermutation API does not update redstone paths at the same tick. Tested on blocks:

• piston

• redstone torch

• repeater

• comparator

• observers

steps to reproduce

• Create a new permutation with new block direction

• Set the permutation immediately at the same tick

expected results

• The redstone emission and source paths to change

actual results

• Redstone paths didnt change

workarounds

• Restarting the world would fix the issue

• Setting the block to air first, then the actual permutation in the next tick

related issues

Issue reproduced via the Script API:

• MCPE-190505 - Setting a block to a repeater and then changing the cardinal direction permutation doesn't change the input/output of the repeater

Issue reproduced via commands with vanilla redstone blocks:

• MCPE-176853 - When replacing observer by setblock or fill, its output direction doesn't change

Issue reproduced with custom blocks' components and the API

• MCPE-234647 - Redstone emission not updating across permutation changes

• MCPE-229570 - Custom block using minecraft:redstone_producer does not update the redstone signal when toggled via permutations

This issue has been around since 1.21.80 (or maybe further before, as some users reported).
