Chef::RunContext::CookbookCompiler#add_cookbook_with_deps

Builds up the list of +ordered_cookbooks+ by first recursing through the
dependencies of +cookbook+, and then adding +cookbook+ to the list of
+ordered_cookbooks+. A cookbook is skipped if it appears in
+seen_cookbooks+, otherwise it is added to the set of +seen_cookbooks+
before its dependencies are processed.
