Default output filename when running romancal.pipeline.ExposurePipeline #1215

The output filename of romancal.pipeline.ExposurePipeline is derived from metadata in the input file (roman.meta.filename) rather than the actual name of the input file. This leads to unexpected behaviour when an input file is copied or renamed and romancal is run on it.

The recommended approach here at present is to also edit meta.filename when copying, which I acknowledge is awkward. We can imagine changing that but at relatively low priority.
