Restructure a YAML internal representations so that dotted keys map to inner fields

Misc yaml-related utility functions.

Restructure

If you use YAML for a configuration file, you might want to allow to use both things like:

compiler:
    command: cargo build

and:

compiler.command: cargo build

(Or not. I know I needed that. Whatever.)

The functions restructure_map and restructure_from_str allow just that, converting dotted keys to inner fiels:

        let s1 = r#"
compiler:
    command: cargo build
"#;

        let s2 = r#"
compiler.command: cargo build
"#;
        let v1: serde_yaml::Value = serde_yaml::from_str(s1).unwrap();
        let v2 = yaml_extras::restructure_from_str(&s2, true).unwrap();
        assert_eq!(v1, v2);
