Description

### Describe the bug

In integration test when project we are testing has AssemblyName attribute we have DirectoryNotFoundException. After investigation it looks like this code https://github.com/dotnet/aspnetcore/blob/c272436a9e5dd42662d5f7eb5451c0eb0fc805c9/src/Mvc/Mvc.Testing/src/WebApplicationFactory.cs#L290-L292
is searching for dependecies by project default names - not respecting that it could be changed by AssemblyName.

### To Reproduce

1. Create sample ASP.NET Core project
2. Add AssemblyName with some custom name
3. Add integrastion test project (WebApplicationFactory) and try to execute sample controller

### Exceptions (if any)

DirectoryNotFoundException is raised

### Further technical details
- ASP.NET Core version - 3.1, Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Testing - Version=3.1.8
