Fix for macro annotation that resolves macro-based implicit crashing the compiler

[pweisenburger]

When (1) macro-annotating a class or object nested in another class or object and (2) the annotation macro tries to summon an implicit value using Implicits.search and (3) the implicit search needs to expand a given macro, the compiler crashes with:

Failed to evaluate macro.
  Caused by class dotty.tools.dotc.CompilationUnit$SuspendException

I found that the reason for the crash is macroDependencies returning locally defined variables, which, I believe, it should not. In particular it returns a list containing $anonfun for trees of the following shape that appear when resolving implicit macros:

{
  def $anonfun(using contextual$1: scala.quoted.Quotes): scala.quoted.Expr[<type for implicit search>] =
    <given macro for implicit value>(contextual$1)
  closure($anonfun)
}

This PR skips over such Closure nodes, which should be the correct behavior. Not sure if there are other cases that macroDependencies handles incorrectly and that should be fixed ...

Hey, to fix the CI run, can you rebase your work on the latest commit in main ?

[pweisenburger]

I rebased on the main branch.

Hi, I've been investigating this for the past few days and I'm not sure why the closure is created. I wasn't able to reproduce the behavior with other constructs. I'm still looking into it and I will answer back here when I have a final answer.

Thanks! 🙂

I assumed this was normal behavior for expanding macro givens, as at some point you probably want a context function Quotes ?=> T (to inject the implicit Quotes argument), hence the given is eta-expanded, hence the closure. But this guess could be wrong ...
