Revert sculk shriekers to pre 22w13a.

The sculk shriekers after 22w13a now has a tag called "can_summon". This tag when set to false prevents it from summoning the warden. This tag is automatically set to false if placed by a player or generated by catalysts. While this is good for building there should be a way to set this tag to true in survival. This would be very useful for making minigames in survival. Maybe when this block is powered by redstone it changes the tag to true? Or maybe the player right clicks the block to set that tag to true? This change will be very helpful for making survival minigames.

    Another possible fix to the block state "can_summon" might be to remove the players ability to change the block state entirely. By keeping the sculk shrieker "can_summon" block state true on natural generation and having farmabe shriekers set to false upon generation by a catalysts this opens the door to both instances where spawnable and decorative variations can both be obtained in survival. This way, the warden can be transported for use in minigames and the dormant variation of the shrieker can be obtained for building. If this change were to be made it might help to have an indicator on the block so players can distinguish the two but personally I think an item ID or NBT tag would suffice.
