standardize config on ruamel.yaml with a YAML 1.2 config

This is a key piece of the ongoing `PUBLISH` _config.yml_ migration. There was uneven implementation of which YAML parser to use, and that could lead to bugs where one parser might read a value one way, and a different parser will read the value a different way. I wanted to be sure that YAML 1.2 would always work.

This makes all code that handles config files use the same `ruamel.yaml` parsers.  This only touches other usages of YAML parsers when there is overlap.  This does not port all of _fdroidserver_ to `ruamel.yaml` and YAML 1.2.  The metadata files should already be YAML 1.2 anyway.

"""Standard YAML parsing and dumping.
YAML 1.2 is the preferred format for all data files. When loading
F-Droid formats like config.yml and <Application ID>.yml, YAML 1.2 is
forced, and older YAML constructs should be considered an error.
It is OK to load and dump files in other YAML versions if they are
externally defined formats, like FUNDING.yml. In those cases, these
common instances might not be appropriate to use.
There is a separate instance for dumping based on the "round trip" aka
"rt" mode. The "rt" mode maintains order while the "safe" mode sorts
the output. Also, yaml.version is not forced in the dumper because that
makes it write out a "%YAML 1.2" header. F-Droid's formats are
explicitly defined as YAML 1.2 and meant to be human-editable. So that
header gets in the way.
