vscode.tasks.executeTask ignores dependsOn

[ejizba]

Issue Type: Bug

This seems to be a regression on VS Code Insiders. It does not repro on stable. If I call vscode.tasks.executeTask, it will only execute that specific task, not the task it dependsOn as well. Here's an example tasks.json:

{
    // See https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=733558
    // for the documentation about the tasks.json format
    "version": "2.0.0",
    "tasks": [
        {
            "label": "echo",
            "type": "shell",
            "dependsOn": "echo2",
            "command": "echo Hello",
            "problemMatcher": []
        },
        {
            "label": "echo2",
            "type": "shell",
            "command": "echo Hello2",
            "problemMatcher": []
        }
    ]
}

Example code to execute the task:

const tasks = await vscode.tasks.fetchTasks();
await vscode.tasks.executeTask(tasks[0]);

Expected

> Executing task: echo Hello2 <
Hello2
Terminal will be reused by tasks, press any key to close it.
> Executing task: echo Hello <
Hello
Terminal will be reused by tasks, press any key to close it.

Actual:

> Executing task: echo Hello <
Hello
Terminal will be reused by tasks, press any key to close it.

Caused by 1abf21d. Because the task execution is first gotten, then passed to the extension host, the depends on is lost when passing to the extension host.

Works for me on the latest insiders, thanks!
