ninja-build/ninja depfile dependency on dyndep output does not trigger rebuild

Original task statement excerpt

depfile dependency on dyndep output does not trigger rebuild
In this build file, `copy` depends on `other`, but when `other` changes, `copy` is not rebuilt:

```ninja
rule dyndep
  command = printf 'ninja_dyndep_version = 1\nbuild stamp | other: dyndep\n' > $out

rule build_with_dyndep
  command = touch $out other
  dyndep = $out.dd

rule depends_on_dyndep
  command = printf '%s: other\n' $out > $out.d && cp other $out
  depfile = $out.d

build stamp.dd: dyndep
build stamp: build_with_dyndep || stamp.dd
build copy: depends_on_dyndep || stamp
```

```
$ ninja --version
1.12.1
$ ninja -v
[1/3] printf 'ninja_dyndep_version = 1\nbuild stamp | other: dyndep\n' > stamp.dd
[2/3] touch stamp other
[3/3] printf '%s: other\n' copy > copy.d && cp other copy
$ # edit build.ninja to add some spaces to build_with_dyndep's command
$ ninja -v
[1/1] touch stamp     other
$ ninja -v
[1/1] printf '%s: other\n' copy > copy.d && cp other copy
$ ninja -v
