Hot reload labeled assets whose source asset is not loaded (bevyengin…

…e#9736)

# Objective

As called out in bevyengine#9714, Bevy Asset V2 fails to hot-reload labeled assets
whose source asset has changed (in cases where the root asset is not
alive).

## Solution

Track alive labeled assets for a given source asset and allow hot
reloads in cases where a labeled asset is still alive.
