Steps to reproduce:
1. Build power lines to an empty chunk.
2. Place a beacon on the empty chunk.
3. Press F4 and turn on show-active-state, show-active-entities-on-chuck-counts, and show-active-chunks.

Expected result:
Chunk is inactive

Actual result:
Chunk is highlighted as active

How is this a bug?
Not all entities deactivate, it is just a matter of optimisation. Beacons are quite optimised to update once per X ticks, but they don't deactivate completely now.

It's a bug in show-active-chunks.

The chunk should not show as active if its beacons are not being updated.

They are active, just in a different way
