Better support of comments

[dr4Ke]

Take this file.yml:

variables:
  var1: VAR1

#This is another definition
other:
  var2: VAR2

Use this task:

- name: add variable
  yedit:
    src: file.yml
    key: variables.var3
    value: VAR3

You end up with file.yml:

variables:
  var1: VAR1

#This is another definition
  var3: VAR3
other:
  var2: VAR2

It's correct in a functional point of view but ugly. It would be better to have:

variables:
  var1: VAR1
  var3: VAR3

#This is another definition
other:
  var2: VAR2

I suspect this is related to the ruamel.yaml module, not in this one.

In my case it removes all the comments in the YAML file. @dr4Ke Has it happened to you?

[dr4Ke]

I don't remember such a thing, but I have not used it in a while, so…
