[Rivet] Removing yaml-cpp bundling from Rivet 2.0

[Frank Siegert]

Hi Andy,

I'm actually very much in favour of this change. The yaml-cpp
auto-discovery/installation was always a bit of a problem, and since
we have enough other external dependencies that's just fine as another
one as well I think.

Cheers,
Frank
