Structured dependencies in pkgx.yaml

[dudicoco]

Currently the dependencies value in pkgx.yaml is just a string:

dependencies:
  python@3.10 node@16.20.1
env:
  FOO: bar

I suggest making it an array so it's more structured and robust:

dependencies:
- python@3.10
- node@16.20.1
env:
  FOO: bar

pkgx supports a yaml object (as well as array of strings):

dependencies:
  python.org: ~3.10
  nodejs.org: ^16.20.1
env:
  FOO: bar

Thanks @jhheider, definitely should be in the docs :)

Yeah, the docs refer to the yaml frontmatter, but that feature, specifically reading it from the readme, has been removed I believe, so the documentation likely went with it. I believe the three methods described here are the available methods.

Leaving open until we (or anyone!) update(s) the docs
