[BUG] [Regression] yaml output broken in 3006.8

[SaherH]

Description
Yaml output is not working (e.g. when using show_sls --out=yaml), and it's returning NULL.

Setup

• container (Docker)
• onedir packaging

Steps to Reproduce the behavior
Create any SLS file, and run show_sls with --out=yaml

[root@0b379b6cb0ba /]# cat /srv/salt/test.sls
test:
  cmd.run:
    - name: echo hello
[root@0b379b6cb0ba /]# salt-call --local state.show_sls --out=yaml test
local: NULL

Expected behavior
Working output from 3006.7

[root@0b379b6cb0ba /]# salt-call --local state.show_sls --out=yaml test
local:
  test:
    cmd:
    - name: echo hello
    - run
    - order: 10000
    __sls__: test
    __env__: base

Additional context
Root cause is missing yaml dumper logic.
In b9be2de, OrderedDict was replaced with HashableOrderedDict. The former had custom yaml dumper logic defined that hasn't been applied to the latter.

salt/salt/utils/yamldumper.py

Lines 73 to 74 in 41ef078

	OrderedDumper.add_representer(OrderedDict, represent_ordereddict)
	SafeOrderedDumper.add_representer(OrderedDict, represent_ordereddict)

I'm also facing this problem and it's a killer because we can't render runnable code w/ this broken. makes it very difficult to resume an orchestration.

@achalupa-ptc @SaherH As a quick workaround for this issue you can pipe the output from JSON to a simple Python script to convert the data to YAML.

# salt-run state.orch_show_sls testing.orch --output=json | ./converter.py

@doesitblend : thanks for the workaround it works but unfortunately it's not enough to reduce the pain for my use case. I'm typically rendering an orchestration or state using --out=yaml to resume an orchestration from where it failed. With the workaround it accurately renders the code as yaml but it does so in a random order. It's very time consuming to pick through the randomly ordered code to pick out the steps that haven't run yet.

First salt broke the ability to pass test=true -l debug as a way of rendering code. using --out=yaml was the workaround for this breakage and now this is broken :(.
