Several fixes for EXPLAIN (FORMAT YAML), plus one for EXPLAIN (FORMAT JSON). ExplainSeparatePlans() was busted for both JSON and YAML output - the present code is a holdover from the original version of my machine-readable explain patch, which didn't have the grouping_stack machinery. Also, fix an odd distribution of labor between ExplainBeginGroup() and ExplainYAMLLineStarting() when marking lists with "- ", with each providing one character. This broke the output format for multi-query statements. Also, fix ExplainDummyGroup() for the YAML output format. Along the way, make the YAML format use escape_yaml() in situations where the JSON format uses escape_json(). Right now, it doesn't matter because all the values are known not to need escaping, but it seems safer this way. Finally, I added some comments to better explain what the YAML output format is doing. Greg Sabino Mullane reported the issues with multi-query statements. Analysis and remaining cleanups by me.
