Description
### Issue Description
Build output of OutputType Exe is transitively copied even if ReferenceOutputAssembly False.
### Steps to Reproduce
A.csproj
```
Exe
```
B.csproj
```
False
```
C.csproj
```
```
Run `dotnet build C`
### Expected Behavior
There is no `A.exe` in output the dir of B or C
### Actual Behavior
There are `A.{exe,deps.json,runtimeconfig.json,runtimeconfig.dev.json}` in the output dir of B or C
`MSBuildCopyContentTransitively = False` helps to some extent. It removes other files except the exe.
PrivateAssets all, IncludeAssets none, ExcludeAssets all doesn't help.
