Feature Description

Switch the index file from json to yaml

Why?

This should be done after https://github.com/mrlunchbox777/basic-setup/issues/117

yaml is a superset of json, so it offers more features. It also supports comments, is more consistent with modern projects, puts more information in a single screen, and will be easier for humans to manage.

What-should happen?

The index.json should be converted to index.yaml. Comments should be added, particularly above array items showing their name to more easily identify collapsed items in an IDE. The remaining bash scripts that need to interact with the index file should be updated to use yq instead of jq. The github Issues that reference the index files should also be updated.

Steps to Test

• [ -f resources/install/index.json ] && echo exists should output nothing
• [ -f resources/install/index.yaml ] && echo exists should output exists
• [ -f resources/install/index-package-template.json ] && echo exists should output nothing
• [ -f resources/install/index-package-template.yaml ] && echo exists should output exists
• A comment above each package containing the package name
• A comment above each package-manager containing the package-manager-name
• All remaining bash scripts work as they did before the migration
• bsctl works as it did before the migration
• No github Issue references index.json or index-package-template.json

when this starts getting worked, we should block all of the github Issues that reference the index.json to reduce conflicts and rework
