Add a simple sphinx.Parser class meant to handle yaml files. For now, it just replaces a yaml file by a simple ReST code. I opted to do this way, as this patch can be used as basis for new file format parsers. We may use this as an example to parse other types of files.

There's no way I'm aware of to have two yaml parsers. So, assuming that
some other subsystem would also use yaml (*), the same parser will need to
handle yaml files from different parts.
That's why I opted to have a generic name here. Besides that, there's
nothing there which is specific to Netlink, as the actual parser is
implemented inside a class on a separate file.
(*) as I said, media is considering using yaml for sensors. Nothing yet
materialized, as we just had our summit last month. Yet, as DT also
uses yaml, so I won't doubt that other subsystems may end using it
as well.

Ok, will drop "yml".
