Return an error when direct-nested-loading a subasset (#18213)
# Objective

- Prevents #18291.
- Previously, attempting to direct-nested-load a subasset would return
the root of the nested-loaded asset. This is most problematic when doing
direct-nested-**untyped**-loads of subassets, where you may not even
realize you're dealing with the entirely wrong asset (at least with
typed loads, *most of the time* the root asset has a different type from
the subasset, and so at least you'd get an error that the types don't
match).

## Solution

- We now return an error when doing these kinds of loads.

Note an alternative would be to "solve" this problem, by just looking up
the appropriate subasset after doing the nested load. However there's
two problems: 1) we don't know which subassets of the root asset are
necessary for the subasset we are looking up (so any handles in that
subasset may never get registered), 2) a solution will likely hamper
attempts to resolve #18010. AFAICT, no one has complained about this
issue, so it doesn't seem critical to fix this for now.

## Testing

- Added a test to ensure this returns an error. I also checked that the
error before this was just a mismatched type error, meaning it was
trying to pass off the root asset type `CoolText` as the subasset type
`SubText` (which would have worked had I not been using typed loads).
