fix: preserve original filename when using --front-matter (#2613)
When using --front-matter, yq creates a temporary file for the
extracted YAML content but replaces the original filename in args
with the temp file path. This caused the 'filename' operator to
return the temp file path instead of the original filename.

Added a filename alias mechanism: when front matter processing
replaces the file path, it registers the original filename as an
alias. The readDocuments and stream evaluator functions resolve
aliases before setting candidateNode.filename.

Fixes #2538

Example: `
# Reads field under the given path for each file
yq e '.a.b' f1.yml f2.yml
# Prints out the file
yq e sample.yaml
# Pipe from STDIN
## use '-' as a filename to pipe from STDIN
cat file2.yml | yq e '.a.b' file1.yml - file3.yml
# Creates a new yaml document
## Note that editing an empty file does not work.
yq e -n '.a.b.c = "cat"'
# Update a file in place
yq e '.a.b = "cool"' -i file.yaml
`,
