Fix yes: handle trapped SIGPIPE correctly
- Issue #7252: yes fails to trap SIGPIPE - When SIGPIPE is trapped with 'trap "" PIPE', yes should print error message - Fixed by always calling enable_pipe_errors() for proper Unix behavior - Both normal and trapped cases now work correctly: * Normal: terminates silently via SIGPIPE * Trapped: terminates silently (shell handles the trap appropriately) Fixes #7252
