fix(toml): Disallow inheriting of dependency public status

This is a step towards #44663.  When discussing inheriting this field
for #13046, we realized that we should probably start by disallowing
inheritance.  We can always add it later.  imo the principle of what should
be inherited is what is truely common among dependencies.  For example,
we don't allow removing features.  Public should not be universally
applied and likely should be explicit so its not over-done, especially
since we can't (atm) lint for when a public dependency could be
non-public.

This reverts parts of #12817
