Merges change-YAML-config-extension-name -> main

This PR adds necessary changes that make the switch from .yaml to .yml possible with elegance! Though the effect of the change is straightforward, I still wanted to highlight the main behavioral changes to give you a chance to review.

1. elAPI will only recognize elapi.yml as its configuration file name in all three search locations (/etc, $HOME/.config, .).
2. For commands like bill-teams and get, if YAML is passed to --format/-F to define the export data format, the exported data will have .yml extension.

   $ elapi bill-teams info -F yml --export
                          ^^^
   # or
   $ elapi bill-teams info -F yaml --export
                          ^^^^
   # In both cases, data will be exported to "datetime_bill_teams.yml" file to maintain the .yml convention.
                                                              ^^^

3. However, if a full file path is given, then the file name provided will be honored.

   
   $ elapi bill-teams info --export ~/bill_teams_info.yaml
                                                  ^^^^

Exports to "bill_teams_info.yaml" file (".yaml" remains unchanged).
