I propose moving /yazgfs/config out of koha-conf.xml and into koha-conf.yml (or
even several different *-conf.yml files).

The majority of the /yazgfs child nodes are actually configuration values for
zebrasrv (ie Zebra). We should respect /yazgfs as Zebra configuration and leave
it alone.

I also propose we move from XML to YAML, as it's more human-friendly and it's
easier to parse into the data structure that we need. XML::Simple, which is an
obsolete module according to its creator, is currently used to parse
koha-conf.xml and it's behaviour can be unpredictable. We should ideally
eliminate our usage of it.
