A previous commit accidentally used a duplicate name for a test disabling a prior test.
This test demonstrates the desired behavior of the LaTeXScanner parsing a package for the RequirePackage macro and recognizing files known to SCons and those that should be assumed system installed.
A custom LaTeX package must use the \RequirePackage macro instead of the \usepackage macro used by document writers. This adds the additional macro to the scanning and properly handle potentially system installed packages.

Custom LaTeX packages must use the
\RequirePackagemacro instead of\updatepackageused by document authors. If a user has a custom package or style, it needs to be scanned for additional dependencies that may be known by SCons. This adds\RequirePackageto the list of macros scanned to ensure proper tracking of dependencies.Note: This also includes a minor fix in the LaTeXTests.py where a prior PR accidentally reused a class name disabling another test.
