Don't unnecessarily recast lists and dicts
* lib/mudpy/misc.py(Element.getlist,Element.getdict): Unlike INI, YAML
directly encodes other datatypes in addition to strings. When using get
functions for lists and dicts, if they're already provided in their
desired form then don't recast them as doing so would instead create
nested datatypes instead.

Initialize data file contents on creation
* lib/mudpy/data.py(DataFile.__init__): When instantiating a DataFile,
initialize its data class variable as an empty dict in case it's
traversed before getting populated.

Catch exceptions in YAML menus
* lib/mudpy/misc.py(Element.facets,Element.get): Early in login and
account creation, elements can have None in place of a dict for their
data. Under these circumstances, listing their keys throws
AttributeError and deep-linking into specific keys throws TypeError.
Catch these and treat them as empty.

Begin the transition from INI to YAML
* lib/mudpy/data.py(DataFile.load): Temporarily turn this method into a
selector which calls different loader methods depending on the file
extension so that old INI and new YAML files can be intermixed during
the transition.
(DataFile.load_yaml): This new loader method handles YAML files.
(DataFile.load_mpy): This is basically the old DataFile.load method.
(DataFile.save,DataFile.is_writeable): Add some TODO reminders for the
YAML transition.
* lib/mudpy/misc.py(Element.__init__,Element.facets,Element.get)
(Element.getboolean): Add conditional branching around calls deeper into
mudpy.data which need different behavior depending on the underlying
file formats.
* requirements.txt: Start tracking Python module dependencies in this
new file, and add the pyyaml module as the first entry.

Use area instead of location or room
Since the term "location" was already used for the name of the facet
identifying the area where an element is located, it was vague to also
use that term for a class of elements which serve as those locations.
Instead use the term "area" since it's as descriptive and shorter. Also
avoid the term "room" as a synonym since areas can be outside as well as
indoors. This further implies renaming the location.mpy sample file to
become area.mpy instead.
