Fixes #4081 and #1887; progress towards #5037
Context
MSBuild doesn't currently respect .deps.json files for plugins (tasks). This can lead to incorrect versions of assemblies being found as finding the AnyCPU version of an assembly instead of the windows-specific version.
Changes Made
Use AssemblyDependencyResolver as a second pass (after looking for "well-known assemblies") to automatically use the deps.json file to find the right assembly.
Testing
Verified that for a task assembly with a rid-specific dependency, it finds the rid-specific dependency as specified by the deps.json file. Also verified that it can find native assemblies and that the issue that inspired this (dotnet/sdk#23498) no longer reproduces after giving nuget a .deps.json file specifying the correct version.
