Description

As suggested in #315, it would be nice to have yaml as a built in type for reading/writing pins. Since we already have JSON support, this seems like a natural next step of supported file types.

Research direction

Locate the implementations of pin_read and pin_write, then compare how the existing JSON type is registered and handled. Add YAML support consistently for both operations and verify it with the project's relevant tests, including coverage for reading and writing YAML pins.
