Remove support for `--format yaml`

[cmaglie]

Describe the request

Remove support for output format yaml in the --format flag.

Rationale:

• Support for YAML is not implemented in all commands, particularly commands with streaming output, or is poorly maintained/tested compared to the JSON output.
• it complicates the code without any worthwhile benefit (especially outputting YAML requires specific struct-tagging or special libraries like sigs.k8s.io/yaml)

Additional context

The original PR that introduced the feature is this one: https://github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/pull/1600 but it seems that the requested feature was for another project using the feedback package as a library. This is no longer possible with the latest version of the Arduino CLI.

Issue checklist

• [X] I searched for previous requests in the issue tracker
• [X] I verified the feature was still missing when using the nightly build
• [X] My request contains all necessary details

.yml files can be included alongside the sketch, which will act as sketch build profiles. This stores the platform and library versions in use, as described in https://arduino.github.io/arduino-cli/0.36/sketch-project-file/

• Will this proposal deprecate the use of .yml files in this way? See this PR for example implementation involving the Arduino_UnifiedStorage library
• If yes, then is there an alternative/recommended route to defining the sketch project file without .yml? Maybe with json instead?

Thanks!

Will this proposal deprecate the use of .yml files in this way?

No, sketch project files sketch.yml or configuration file arduino-cli.yaml will continue to work as always. This change request is relative ONLY to the --format yaml flag.
