GHSA-hhw4-xg65-fp2x: serde_yml crate is unsound and unmaintained

Using `serde_yml::ser::Serializer.emitter` can cause a segmentation fault, which is unsound. The GitHub project for `serde_yml` was archived after unsoundness issues were raised. If you rely on this crate, it is highly recommended switching to a maintained alternative. ## Recommended alternatives - [`serde_norway`](https://crates.io/crates/serde_norway) - Maintained fork of `serde_yaml`, using `unsafe-libyaml-norway` - [`serde_yaml_ng`](https://crates.io/crates/serde_yaml_ng) - Maintained fork of `serde_yaml`, using unmaintained `unsafe-libyaml` ## Incomplete pure Rust alternatives These implementation do not rely on C `libyaml`. - [`serde_yaml2`](https://crates.io/crates/serde_yaml2) - [`yaml-peg`](https://crates.io/crates/yaml-peg)
