Fixes #7770
Problem
While sbt-dependency-graph is useful, not just for the basic ASCII graph, but for DOT file generation etc, it adds a large number of settings and tasks for combination of formats and actions to the point that we actually disable most of them by default.
Solution
I've had an idea for a while that dependencyTree can be implemented as a inputTask that accepts its own subcommands and options, and this implements that.
For example, to open the browser that hosts a DOT file, now you can write
dependencyTree dot --browse
Output
