Only load referenced plugins#1790

InitializePlugins scanned the output directory and loaded every Verify.*.dll. When a plugin's package/project reference is removed, .NET can leave the stale assembly in the output directory, so it kept being loaded (or attempting to and failing to load). Filter the scanned assemblies against the test assembly's .deps.json dependency manifest, so only genuinely referenced plugins are loaded. .deps.json is used in preference to Assembly.GetReferencedAssemblies() because the C# compiler strips references to assemblies whose types are never used, and plugins loaded via this convention are referenced but typically not used by type. Fall back to loading all matching assemblies when no .deps.json is present (e.g. .NET Framework). Add tests covering deps.json parsing and an integration test asserting a stale unreferenced plugin is skipped. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
