Experiment with YAML formatter

@lorenzwalthert I think this is working as expected, but because this PR itself contains changes to a YAML config file, which itself will be modified by this hook, there seems to be problems committing the changes.

Related to #448.

You can have a look at its formatting here.

TBH, I am not sure if this is the hook to go with, since its formatting conflicts with VS Code's formatter.

Is the VS code formatter exposed as a CLI tool somewhere?

[lorenzwalthert]

Plus it's not auto-fixing? Like is it checking if the format is correct or also changing the files?

[IndrajeetPatil]

It did change the files initially. I think now it's not doing so because precommit is failing due to some other hooks failing.

VS code uses prettier, and I see this mirror for it meant to be used with precommit:

I don't see other hooks faililng in the latest run. Also, then I guess prettier is the better bet since it's so much more popular than the other repo and my initial favorite has not yet established a pre-commit hook.

Sounds good to me. Closing this.
