Description
Describe the enhancement
Allow use of YAML as the format for GitHub Actions workflows. Any valid document that can be expressed in YAML 1.x (pick a version you want to support) should be accepted if a conformant YAML implementation converts it to a JSON document, and that JSON document is equal to the transformation result of a “GitHub-flavored YAML” document that GitHub Actions does accept.

Additional information
Prompted by a comment that GitHub Actions doesn't yet support YAML, just a private subset.
NOTE: if the feature request has been agreed upon then the assignee will create an ADR. See docs/adrs/README.md

Research direction
Start with the issue's YAML 1.x and GitHub-flavored YAML requirements, then read docs/adrs/README.md for the project's ADR process. Define a supported YAML version and determine how conformance and JSON transformation equality will be validated. Done means valid YAML documents meeting the stated equivalence condition are accepted as GitHub Actions workflows.
