Resolve references: for each reference, look for a matching anchor, and copy its contents to the ref node.

This method first does a full traversal of the tree to gather all anchors and references in a separate collection, then it goes through that collection to locate the names, which it does by obeying the YAML standard diktat that "an alias node refers to the most recent node in the serialization having the specified anchor"

So, depending on the number of anchor/alias nodes, this is a potentially expensive operation, with a best-case linear complexity (from the initial traversal).
