--from-file does not accept \r\n line separators on Windows #1860

Description

Describe the bug

PS > Get-Content -Raw .\helmfile.yaml | yq --from-file patch.yq
Error: 7:2: invalid input text "\r\n|\nselect(.kind..."

where patch.yq has Windows Style CrLf line endings.

Also note that yq seems to be very sensitive of the Encoding of the file specified via --from-file. It does not accept UTF-16 files (which my PowerShell produces by default), and it does not accept a UTF-8 file with BOM.

Version of yq: 4.35.2
Operating system: Windows 10 22H2
Installed via: binary release

Command
The command you ran:

Get-Content -Raw .\helmfile.yaml | yq --from-file patch.yq
