python3Packages.yamlpath: mark as broken

[mfrischknecht]

yamlpath depends on ruamel.yaml <= 0.17.21 1, but the packaged version in Nixpkgs is on version 0.17.32 by now. This breaks a lot of the libraries own unit tests.

As I don't see anything in Nixpkgs depending on yamlpath, this simply marks the package as broken.

Description of changes

Mark the package as broken.

@Flakebi: Since you are listed as the maintainer of this package:

@Nebucatnetzer proved on his local machine that these errors could be fixed if we would downgrade the ruamel.yaml dependency by overriding its version and fetching hash in the Nix package definition. We discussed this approach with @delroth, but it didn't seem worth the packaging headache to us. But if you're interested in doing so, that would also be an option.

Oh, actually I just saw that @Flakebi +1'd the PR. I'll take that as an approval :-)
