Serialize object to its YAML representation. If the output port port is given, write it to that port, otherwise return a string.

Example:

#;1> (import yaml sql-null)
#;2> (yaml-dump "foo")
"--- foo\n"
#;3> (yaml-dump 'bar)
"--- :bar\n"
#;4> (yaml-dump (sql-null))
"---\n"
#;5> (yaml-dump '("foo" ("bar")))
"---\n- foo\n- - bar\n"
#;6> (yaml-dump '(("foo" . "bar")))
"---\nfoo: bar\n"
#;7> (yaml-dump '(("foo" . "bar") ("bar" .  "baz")))
"---\nfoo: bar\nbar: baz\n"
