depends-on in script/style tag helpers don't cause the dependency to be included if it wasn't already

[Piedone]

Describe the bug

Following up from #16531 (comment).

The depends-on attribute available in script/tag helpers looks like it should work the same as declaring a dependency in a resource manifest, and cause the dependency to be included. This doesn't happen though, and the dependency is not included. The dependency order is only enforced when it was already included before.

In the manifest one uses ResourceDefinition.SetDependencies, and the tag helpers use RequireSettings.SetDependencies. Both are expanded in the same way in ResourceManager.ExpandDependenciesImplementation though, but still.

Orchard Core version

Latest main: 5c45566

To Reproduce

1. Set up new site with Blog.
2. Add this to AdminDashboard.cshtml:

<script at="Foot" depends-on="jquery-resizable">
    console.log("hello");
</script>

3. Visit /Admin. Notice that while the script is included, jquery-resizable is not.
4. Also add <script asp-name="jquery-resizable"></script> a line above.
5. Notice that jquery-resizable is now included, correctly above the inline script.

With 1.8.3 BTW the behavior is the same, so this is not a regression.

Expected behavior

jquery-resizable is included also under step 2.
