add fmt command to format YAML files

now that yaml.v3 is out and supports preserving comments on yaml nodes, it would be nice to have ytt fmt -R -f . command that would format yaml files in place.

The Hardest Program I've Ever Written – How a code formatter works (2015) (stuffwithstuff.com) has some good discussion about code formatting.

In place formatting would be nice :)

In place would actually be very nice ;)

This is only partially done: comments are still not preserved.

We're doing some exploration with yaml.v3 (even if only for rendering): #638
