Previously --force-dep only replaced dependencies listed in the tox config deps section, ignoring dependencies from package metadata (setup.cfg install_requires, pyproject.toml dependencies). Now force-dep overrides are applied to package deps during installation. Fixes tox-dev#2943

The
--force-depflag only replaced dependencies listed in the tox configdepssection, but silently ignored dependencies coming from package metadata (setup.cfginstall_requires,pyproject.tomldependencies). This meant users could not force specific versions of transitive package dependencies, which is particularly problematic in monorepo setups where pre-release versions of internal packages need to be co-installed for testing.The fix applies force-dep overrides to package metadata dependencies during the pip installation phase, matching by package name and substituting the forced version. This covers all package types: wheels, sdists, editable, and legacy editable installs.
Fixes #2943
