Title: Fix broken Yahoo! geocoder

Yahoo! shut down their old geocoder service on September 13 and all requests to it return an error. They are now only supporting the Placefinder API. I've modified the YahooGeocoder to use the new API. This uses the JSON result format to reduce network bandwidth over XML. I have not added any new features that may be available with the Placefinder service.

All existing Yahoo! tests still pass.
