Subject: [PATCH] Only tick item frames if players can see it

In the event that an item frame cannot be seen by any players, ticking the item frame every tick is unnecessary. This can be a very hot section of the entity tracker when lots of item frames are present on a server, so this reduces the logic which speeds it up.
