ruamel_yaml and ruamel.yaml are equivalent names, according to pip package normalization.
The result is that while ruamel_yaml is not ruamel.yaml and can coexist as conda packages,
pip install ruamel.yaml will consider the dependency already satisfied by ruamel_yaml if it is present, when it should not.

The fix is to use a package name in setup.py that avoids such a collision.
Since this is a conda-only fork, I went with adding _conda, lacking a more obvious choice.

The alternative fix is to remove any pip metadata from the package, but it wasn't obvious how to robustly avoid pip noticing that the package is present.

Related to #1 and conda-forge/ruamel.yaml-feedstock#7

pip package normalization makes ruamel_yaml and ruamel.yaml equivalent,
so `pip install ruamel.yaml` will not install the real package
if `ruamel_yaml` is installed.

Add `_conda_fork` to the package name to avoid this problem.

Hi! This is the friendly automated conda-forge-linting service.

I just wanted to let you know that I linted all conda-recipes in your PR (recipe) and found it was in an excellent condition.
