Getting started with rapidyaml

1. Add the lib into your repository as a submodule git submodule add https://github.com/biojppm/rapidyaml rapidyaml
2. Recursively initialize this submodule git submodule update --init --recursive rapidyaml
3. Alternatively (instead of 1. and 2.)
   • clone repository git clone --recursive https://github.com/biojppm/rapidyaml,
   • remove .git,
   • then cut and paste into your source tree
4. Update your CMakeLists.txt
   • build the library add_subdirectory(rapidyaml)
   • find headers target_include_directories(test PRIVATE rapidyaml/src)
   • link the lib target_link_libraries(test ryml)
