Description

See discussion in https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn/issues/74725, but:

* If a task assembly has an adjacent `.deps.json`, MSBuild will respect it.
* Generally you should probably ship this
* But you don't super have to, the old "load references from next to it" behavior covers a lot.

We should write down details.
