interpreter: when overriding a dependency make its name match

Otherwise internal dependencies have auto-generated names that are not
human readable. Instead, use the name that the dependency overrides. For
example:

```meson
meson.override_dependency('zlib', declare_dependency())
dep_zlib = dependency('zlib')
assert(dep_zlib.name() == 'zlib')
```

Fixes: #12967
