Circular dependency detected for Symbolics.jl on Julia 1.11.0-rc2

[kapple19]

Commit a45ad4ac3bf7f5560a8fc20480b8c7459f5018aa of Symbolics.jl introduces some issues.
The issue reported by Julia depends on the Julia version.

Reproduction steps:

1. Open Julia 1.10.4 or 1.11.0-rc2.
2. Open a temporary environment.
3. ]dev Symbolics on the commit.
4. ]add Aqua (the below issue for Julia 1.11.0-rc2 also triggers for adding other packages).

Upon adding Aqua.jl:

• Julia 1.10.4 reports SymbolicsForwardDiffExt and SymbolicsPreallocationToolsExt do not support precompilation but is imported by a module that does.
• Julia 1.11.0-rc2 reports a circular dependency.

@ChrisRackauckas's PR 1220 on Symbolics.jl commit 33cbdfbd9b4ab6dd6c59c06a9ee5d7b31a3860cc results in the the precompilation issue report disappearing on Julia 1.10.4, but the circular dependency still appears on Julia 1.11.0-rc2.

The 1.11.0-rc2 report:

┌ Warning: Circular dependency detected. Precompilation will be skipped for:
│   Base.PkgId(Base.UUID("d479e226-fb54-5ebe-a75e-a7af7f39127f"), "SymbolicsPreallocationToolsExt")

└ @ Base.Precompilation precompilation.jl:552

The Julia 1.10.4 report:

  2 dependencies had output during precompilation:

This issue was previously mis-reported at JuliaSymbolics/Symbolics.jl#1221.

[ChrisRackauckas]

v6.2 releases the patch, so on the latest release v1.10.4 is fine but v1.11.0-rc2 reports a circular dependency.

[giordano]

]dev Symbolics on the commit.

For what is worth, you can do

]add Symbolics#a45ad4ac3bf7f5560a8fc20480b8c7459f5018aa

without dev-ing a package

[IanButterworth]

As far as I understand circularity in extensions is an issue during precompilation but not during loading. Maybe we don't even need to warn about this.

[kapple19]

If we do just remove the warning, I'll just change my Aqua.test_persistent_tasks as broken.
Though, since Symbolics.jl is a dependency, I might miss other failures in that test as well.
Already have a lot of inherited ambiguity test failures so I had set that as broken as well.

When I do this, the circular dependency warning appears during the adding of Symbolics, as opposed to when I dev my local forked clone as documented above. I don't know the reason for that.
