Issue:
YamlSequence: Implement Building With Comments 
Let's implement building with comments for YamlSequence:

```java
final YamlSequence commented = Yaml.createYamlSequenceBuilder()
    .add("element1", "comment about element1")
    .add("element2", "comment 2")
    .add("element3", "comment 3")
    .build("a Yaml sequence with comments");
```
```yaml
# a Yaml sequence with comments
# comment about element1
- element
# comment 2
- element2
# comment 3
- element3
```

Pull request description:
YamlSequence: Implemented Building With Comments
fixes #276 
* Comments can be specified for each element of the sequence and for the sequence itself when building
* ``YamlSequence.comment()`` returns the comment of the sequence itself
* ``YamlSequence.comments()`` returns the comments referring to the elements of the sequence
* Implemented printing of the comments
* Unit tests for printing + small bugfix regarding trailing spaces.
* Left puzzle to continue implementation for the reading part.
