Ability to change spacing before a comment

[maxdanilov]

Hi there,
Really enjoying your tool, works very well!

One request though would be to be able to set spacing before comments in the output.
Currently, the comments always seem to stay on their previous position, even if actual yaml code has been moved by formatting (because of ruamel I guess?)

Example:
Input file:

---
items:
    - part_no:   A4786 # comment

Output from yamkix:

---
items:
- part_no: A4786       # comment

Feature request:
I think it should be a tunable parameter, as e.g. yamllint has a default rule of 2 spaces before a comment.

Example:

yamkix --spaces-before-comment 2

---
items:
- part_no: A4786  # comment

There doesn't seem to have a trivial fix, I'll have to contact the author of ruamel.yaml to see if something can be done

I am working on this issue but I cannot get to the expected result for the moment :

• I can produce an output were all comments will be placed a single space after the content (what the Google CloudCode extension provides for instance) and that will definitely be an option you will be able to use in yamkix
• I am still working on the option where the comments will be placed to please yamllint, but I have still things to understand, see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60915926/how-to-force-the-comment-position-to-be-valid-with-yamllint-when-load-and-dump-w.
