Continue lists with M-RET

[quazgar]

IIRC earlier versions of yaml-mode had a key binding to M-RET to insert a new line, indent and continue with - if the previous line was also a dash-denoted sequence.

So

foo:
  - bar

would, after pressing M-RET on the end of the last line, become

foo:
  - bar
  - 

If my memory is correct, this should be reintroduced. If not, then this would be a nice feature.

As a workaround, I currently use orgalist-mode which does more or less the same, with (add-hook 'yaml-mode-hook 'orgalist-mode).

I haven't found such functionality in the mode, so it would need to be a new feature. If you have found it in an earlier revision, please point me to it.

Personally, I'm fine with an extra minor mode adding this because doing this properly (to react correctly depending on the context) would require better understanding of the YAML file than we currently have with fragile regex.
