Alex Rickabaugh 1e07a112b0 fix(compiler-cli): use existing imports for standalone dependencies (#46029)
This commit fixes a small issue in the logic around the calculation of
template scopes for standalone components. These scopes include a
`Reference` for each dependency of a standalone component, which is used to
generate references to that dependency in various contexts.

Previously, the `Reference` used for a dependency was the one generated from
its own metadata. For example, a referenced directive used the `Reference`
that was created when analyzing the directive declaration itself. This still
works, as the compiler is always able to emit a reference to any valid
`Reference`. However, it's not optimal.

The `Reference` which should be used instead is the one generated from
analyzing the standalone component's `imports` array, which has knowledge of
how the dependency is referenced from within the standalone component's file
itself. This allows the compiler to skip creating a new import for the
dependency when emitting the standalone component, and use the existing,
user-authored import instead. This saves on code size and avoids taxing the
bundler with unnecessary imports.
