🚀 [Feature]: Short aliases for YAML conversion commands

[Marius Storhaug (MariusStorhaug)]

Use cfy and cty as quick aliases for ConvertFrom-Yaml and ConvertTo-Yaml commands. These short aliases reduce typing in interactive sessions while the full command names remain available for scripts and documentation.

New: Interactive command aliases

The cfy alias converts from YAML to PowerShell objects, and cty converts from PowerShell objects to YAML. Both are fully compatible with the standard command parameters and can be used interchangeably:

# Convert YAML string to object$data=@"name: examplevalue: 123"@| cfy
# Convert object back to YAML$data| cty

The full ConvertFrom-Yaml and ConvertTo-Yaml command names continue to work unchanged for scripts and documented examples.

Technical details

• Added cfy and cty aliases in the module manifest (PSModule.yml)
• Aliases are exported via AliasesToExport in the module metadata
• Built-in command conflict checks validate that aliases don't collide with existing PowerShell commands
• Alias target mappings and manifest metadata updated in packaging configuration
• Implementation plan progress: ClosesAdd short aliases for YAML conversion commands #70
