📚 Description

this uses the new module dependencies feature in https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/releases/tag/v4.1.0 to specify options for other modules (and require them).

without this, the installModule call will overwrite any module dependencies that are specified by other modules - so this PR is needed for nuxt/ui#5384.

Note: I would recommend instead of passing options from content -> mdc, that we have a single place to define them (ie. just use mdc instead), as it can otherwise create non-optimal dependency chains... and I worry bugs will appear

could we move/document content.renderer.alias -> mdc.components.map instead, and so on?
