butane: use friendly filename in stdin read error

[deepak0x]

When Butane reads from stdin and hits a read error, it prints the OS file name (/dev/stdin on Linux) instead of the friendly <stdin> label used everywhere else in the error output.

This ports the fix into the merged Ignition tree (it came up as coreos/butane#726, fixed in butane PR #728, and now lives under #2281). Input reading is now a readInput helper that returns the data, the friendly filename, and any error, so the read failure reports <stdin> consistently with the rest of the report.

Added butane/internal/main_test.go covering stdin, empty stdin, a file, and a missing file.

Fixes #2281

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Butane now centralizes stdin and file reading in readInput. The helper preserves source names, closes opened files, and wraps errors. Tests cover stdin, files, empty input, and missing files. Release notes document the <stdin> error name.

Changes

Input Reading

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Reader implementation and CLI integration butane/internal/main.go	readInput handles stdin and file input, preserves the source name, closes opened files, and returns contextual errors. main reports errors from the helper.
Input behavior tests and release note butane/internal/main_test.go, docs/release-notes.md	Tests cover stdin, empty input, existing files, and missing files. The release note documents <stdin> instead of /dev/stdin in stdin read errors.

23-128: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add a stdin read-error assertion.

The test does not exercise the io.ReadAll error branch. It only tests successful stdin reads and named-file open failure.

Add a closed os.Stdin case. Assert that the error contains failed to read <stdin>. This verifies the behavior documented in docs/release-notes.md line 22.

 		// existing cases
