native yaml configs & separate breeder naming

  BREAKING CHANGE: breeder create now requires --name parameter

  Changes:
  - Add --name parameter to breeder create command
  - Parse YAML configs as generic JsonNode (no rigid type structure)
  - Remove JSON-as-string format, support native YAML objects
  - Update CI tests to use new flat YAML config format

  Usage:
    godon_cli breeder create --name my-breeder --file config.yaml

  Config file (config.yaml) now contains flat structure without name:
    meta:
      configVersion: "0.2"
    breeder:
      type: "linux_performance"
    settings: {...}
    run: {...}
    cooperation: {...}
    objectives: [...]
    effectuation: {...}

  The name is provided separately via CLI parameter and combined
  with config when sending to API: {"name": "my-breeder", "config": {...}}
