vcpkg depend-info always uses default-features even default-features: false

custom port(default-features: false)

  "version": "0.0.1",
  "port-version": 0,

vcpkg depend-info multiport result

So, even if the default-features is set to false on ports that have default-features, depend-info always outputs results that include default-features for those ports.

Default features cannot be disabled by a PORT manifest - i.e. by maintainers.
They can be disabled by command line (classic mode) or APP manifest (manifest mode) - i.e. by users.
Related: #35694 and others.

But depend-info cannot handle multiple args. Alternative:

vcpkg install --dry-run multiport curl[core]

(Instead of multiport, this can be tested with curlpp.)

It would be more satisfying if depend-info could handle multiple arguments, just as install does.
