F# Interactive does not auto-load script inside NuGet package.

[teo-tsirpanis]

I noticed after reading the source code, that when referencing a NuGet package F# Interactive automatically loads file content/MyPackage.fsx of the package if it exists. However it didn't work when I tried it.

Repro steps

1. dotnet pack the following project:

FSharpInteractiveRepro.fsproj

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
  <PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFramework>netstandard2.0</TargetFramework>
  </PropertyGroup>
  <ItemGroup>
    <Content Include="FSharpInteractiveRepro.fsx" Pack="true" PackagePath="content" />
  </ItemGroup>
</Project>

FSharpInteractiveRepro.fsx

module FSharpInteractiveRepro

let num = 579

2. Run the following commands:

dotnet fsi
> #i "<path-to-nupkg>";;
> #r "nuget: FSharpInteractiveRepro";;
> FSharpInteractiveRepro.num;;

Expected behavior

> #r "nuget: fsharpinteractiverepro";;

 Loading C:\Users\teo\.nuget\packages\fsharpinteractiverepro\1.0.0\content\FSharpInteractiveRepro.fsx]
module FSI_0003.Project.fsproj

module FSI_0003.FSharpInteractiveRepro
val num: int

> FSharpInteractiveRepro.num;;
val it: int = 579

Actual behavior

> #r "nuget: fsharpinteractiverepro";;

module FSI_0003.Project.fsproj

> FSharpInteractiveRepro.num;;

  FSharpInteractiveRepro.num;;
  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I am using .NET 9 SDK, but I think it reproduces in earlier versions since that code has not changed very much.
