[yaml/en] Use preferred style; add missing uses
* YAML allows literal tabs in content, but not indentation. * Two space indent always preferred. * Note: YAML dumpers always use 2 space by default. * '- ...' doesn't need extra indentation. * Note: YAML dumpers don't use extra indentation. * There was no mention of single quoted strings. They are preferred and should be used except when double quote semantics are actually required. (Best practice). * Add flow form example for sets: `{a, b, c}` * Show collapsed form of seq-in-seq: `- - - foo`.
