Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The new dotnet package download command is great, but it doesn't quite get rid of our need to use nuget.exe to install packages, because it doesn't bring down dependency packages.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add a switch --dependencies or similar that will download direct and transitive dependencies.
Since following dependencies includes paths that are target framework specific, you may also add a --target-framework switch that will allow filtering of those dependencies to a particular target framework.
