feat: assets can have a display name

Add a new field to the asset schema: `displayName`. If supplied, it will be used instead of the asset ID for display purposes in `cdk-assets` and in the CLI. This adds support for display names to the contract and to the CLI. A future PR in `aws-cdk-lib` will make it possible to configure display names on Asset objects, and add the same support to CDK Pipelines.
