[ISSUE #481] Use YAML file to store configuration

[pandaapo]

Fixes #481.

Motivation

See "Enhancement Request" in issue.

Modifications

The default config file format keeps eventmesh.properties. When user set only config file in yaml / yml format, EventMesh will find it and load it.

I think we should only use one configuration file, either eventmesh.yml or eventmesh.properties. Having both concurrently would pose difficulties in maintenance.

Considering that connectors all use YAML configuration files, the presence of eventmesh.properties feels inconsistent, since it is one of the few properties files in EventMesh. Therefore, my preference would be to standardize the use of YAML files.

In our project, we currently have both .yml and .yaml files, and both file extensions are valid. However, it would be necessary to choose one for consistency. Although .yaml is a more standard and compliant file extension compared to .yml, the majority of our project uses .yml. Hence, I recommend standardizing on the .yml extension (except for .asf.yaml).

Thanks for your review. But sorry, many of your points I couldn't agree with, and they were even a bit strange to me. No offense, I'm willing to wait for more members of the community to express their views on these points of yours. If there are no objections, I will revise.
