57d5b8642a Add examples to YAMLSyntax; fix minor issues and improve wording (#35703)
* Add examples to YAMLSyntax; fix minor issues and improve wording

I added proper titles to "Flow Collections" and "Block Scalars", because these
are official YAML Terms, so people can find better help when having issues.

I changed the "ignored newlines" to "folded newlines" because I think ignoring
gives a wrong impression, especially since empty lines (more than one newline)
are not ignored and have a special meaning.

I added an example how to enforce a newline in a folded block scalar.

I fixed the list of characters that are allowed/not allowed in plain and
double quoted scalars.

I added the #yaml channel to the IRC link.

I added links to the YAML Specs. For completeness, I also included YAML 1.2,
although PyYAML and libyaml currently implement 1.1.

* Improve wording

* Add three more characters to forbidden first characters

6c2585f0c8 Add some additional value quoting examples (#20464)
The existing examples in the "Gotchas" section were rather simple. Expanded upon those to add some additional clarity around how the quoting in YAML works.
