The GameObject is not transparent when setting CameraDepthTexture as a depth render target

Unity: Universal RP

We currently do not support CameraDepthTexture as an actual render target and everything that should be in there should be rendered before CopyDepthPass. However, in this case this can be worked around fairly easy by modifying user's shader to use ColorMask R instead of ColorMask 0. The issue happened when we changed depth copy texture to be a R32 color texture, so the shader in this project doesn't write anything as it's not writing to the R channel

Reproduction steps:
1. Open the attached project “RenderProject”
2. Open the “Assets/Scenes/SampleScene.unity” scene
3. Observe the “Sphere” GameObject transparency in the Game View

Expected result: Some part of the “Sphere” GameObject is transparent (Invisible cube is drawn to CameraDepthTexture directly)
Actual result: The “Sphere” GameObject is not transparent

Reproducible with: 2022.1.0a16, 2022.2.4f1, 2023.1.0a26, 2023.2.0a8
Not Reproducible with: 2021.3.22f1, 2022.1.0a15
Could not test with: 2020.3.44f1 (“Assets\Scripts\MyRendererFeature.cs(31,74): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'UniversalRenderer' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)”), 2022.2.12f1, 2023.1.0b10(“Assertion failed: UnityEngine.GUIUtility:ProcessEvent (int,intptr,bool&)”)

Reproducible on: Intel macOS 13.0.1, Windows 10
