Repro Steps & Context

If the Microsoft.AspNetCore.App framework is not referenced by the application itself, but pulled in by a referenced library, package pruning does not seem to work.

I created a repro here: https://github.com/mus65/nuget-packagepruning-issue

To repro:

dotnet build
dotnet nuget why app/app.csproj Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication

This will say that Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication is pulled in by CoreWCF.Http, but it should be pruned instead.

Workaround: use Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web in application or add framework reference Microsoft.AspNetCore.App to application.
