[Feature] - add support for aliasing

Current behavior:
There is currently no way to share objects between tests. This results in a lot of get/find operations for every test as each test needs to repeatedly pierce into the same shadow structures before making any assertions.
Desired behavior:
Enable the as('alias')
or shadowAs('alias')
command to work and allow shadowGet('@alias')
to retrieve these values. This should use mocha's "context". Note: there's a possibility that the default "as" command already works and we just need to update shadowGet
.

beforeEach(() => {
cy.shadowGet('todo-list')
.shadowFind('todo-item')
.as('todoItem');
});
it('does the thing', () => {
cy.shadowGet('@todoItem').shadowContains('do the laundry');
});
