feat: Add --yaml-compact-seq-indent / -c flag for compact sequence indentation (#2583)

Adds a new CLI flag that enables compact sequence indentation where '- ' is
considered part of the indentation. This leverages the CompactSeqIndent()
method from the underlying go.yaml.in/yaml/v4 library.

Example output with --yaml-compact-seq-indent:
  parent:
    items:
    - one
    - two

Instead of the default:
  parent:
    items:
      - one
      - two

Closes #1841
