players were switching from a weaker tool to a stronger one to get double knockback in PvP.
while it's intended that we don't cancel the second attack during hit cooldown if the damage is
higher (the first damage is subtracted to prevent doubling up), we don't want them to get double
knockback.
this behaviour now matches vanilla to the best of my observations.
Come at me PvP community... I know some people are going to hate this change
this ensures the greatest amount of consistency with vanilla.
in order to prevent the sounds being broadcasted on armor damage with the old method, we'd also have to sacrifice the sound when replacing one leather helmet with another, for example.
this approach minimizes the gameplay impact at the possible expense of plugins.

this was requested and PR'd as far back as 2020 (see #3782).
Since no issue was filed about this, it became forgotten until #5946.
However, #5946 overcomplicates the solution to the problem, and breaks BC without an obvious reason.
This occurs if the player had very high levels of Health Boost or other weird modifications.
It doesn't really make sense to apply damage modifiers to suicide anyway.
Really I'm doubtful that suicide should even be considered a damage type (perhaps we should add an EntitySuicideEvent), but that's a discussion for another time.
suicide damage is a voluntary damage source, which noDamageTicks is intended to prevent getting damaged while the player gets their bearings after (re)spawning.

we can't have landed on it unless it actually has a collision box - otherwise, we only landed _in_ it.
This assumes, of course, that no blocks have bounding boxes >= 2 blocks tall, which currently none do.
