Initial implementation of Yaml*Serializers

[pschichtel]

this is still very much broken and there a bunch of open questions, but this could be a viable starting point. This was basically adapted from the Json equivalents. The Json module seems to have more support for this in the Encoder/Decoder directly.

Someone with more knowledge of the inner workings of this module should have a look at this and also at the test failures I'm seeing.

The idea is to be able to decode and re-encode with these serializers and get the exact same value back, that's what the tests try to verify.

Since I'm switching over to a different approach for my project, I will not be needing this myself, so depending on how much work is left here I may not be able to continue working on this actively.

Thanks for submitting this @pschichtel. Are you able to expand on the issues you ran into and what you think could be done to fix them?

I'm not even sure if accessing the Input instances in the way I did is correct. In one case I seemed to receive a YamlMapInput where I would have expected to receive a YamlScalarInput.

I think if you run the unit test I added you'll see most of the issues I had
