repo2docker ignores the python environment when the extension is yaml

[shaneknapp]

Bug description

when building an image, if the python environment file is named environment.yaml, the build will default to python 3.10 and skip installing the environment. if you get the build to pass, you will most likely be unable to launch the notebook locally.

Expected behaviour

the image should properly ingest the python env definition regardless of the file extension, especially as yaml.org recommends that you use .yaml over .yml.

Actual behaviour

(dh) ➜  hub-user-image-template git:(update-default-image-config) ✗ mv environment.yml environment.yaml
(dh) ➜  hub-user-image-template git:(update-default-image-config) ✗ ls -l environment.yaml

How to reproduce

1. on the cli: mv environment.yml environment.yaml
2. run repo2docker in the image directory
3. see that it's using the default of python 3.10
4. note that repo2docker then won't ingest environment.yaml later in the build process
