scaladoc: Can the dependency on jackson-dataformat-yaml be removed in favor of flexmark? #11759

Currently, scaladoc depends on both jackson for yaml processing and flexmark for markdown processing. Since flexmark also supports yaml I was wondering if we could use that to avoid depending on jackson.

I guess we should come back to this after the release.

jackson is used to parse sidebar.yaml.

I think this fill will go away sometime soon, so then we can remove jackson
