Description

Would be useful to be able to specify the output format of the cfn templates. YAML is a lot more readable in my opinion and also allows comments.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore the current template generation code in stacker to understand how JSON output is produced. Implement an option to output YAML using a YAML library like PyYAML. Ensure it does not break existing JSON output.
