Using /give command with high data values gives you air

Relates to:

• MC-108729
• MC-108872

The bug

When you give yourself an item (not air) with a data value higher than 2^16-1 = 65535 you get air instead. I would expect the command to fail instead.

Note: 2^16 is the number of values a short can have. But as the Damage tag is a signed short, this value does not make any sense in this context.

How to reproduce

/give @p dirt 1 65536
