When a user declares a dependency on an alias, the intention is to depend on the alias expansion.
Expansion is the idea we discussed in #2681 and it was generally agreed that the files mentioned in the
deps
field of an alias should contribute to its expansion.It turns out this is completely broken in Dune today: alias expansions only ever include the alias stamp files which is not what we want.
This PR fixes one source of the issue, while adding a test for the remaining issues.
