[build] Remove PyYAML dependency

This converts all the YAML files to JSON files, as json parsing is built
into python instead of being a separate library requiring installation.

YAML is a superset of JSON, but putting comments in is not quite as obvious
as it is in yaml.

The following glue was used to convert yaml to json:
python -c 'import sys, yaml, json; json.dump(yaml.load(sys.stdin), sys.stdout, indent=4)' < $1 > $2

Clearly I haven't tested this on every single platform, and this
doesn't address the large blobs of yaml in the lpc4300 scripts directory,
only the cortex NVIC generation process.

I've tested a few IRQ driven example apps, and I've checked the generated
output of some known cases like the LM3s that has explicit gaps, and they are
all generated correctly.
