[Bug]: bazel --query_file goes to interactive

[justhecuke]

What happened?

$ bazel --version
aspect 5.8.20

$ echo '//:all' > queryfile.txt
$ bazel query --query_file queryfile.txt

Results in an interactive prompt:

Use the arrow keys to navigate: ↓ ↑ → ← 
? Select a preset query: 
  ▸ why: Determine why targetA depends on targetB
    deps: Get the deps of a target

This should not happen. The query should execute what is in the query_file and not start an interactive prompt.

Calling

bazel query --aspect:interactive=false --query_file queryfile.txt

should work-around the issue.

We should fix this in the CLI, however, to not go into interactive mode if the user specifies a --query_file
