create_areas_def returns area_extent as dashed list in yaml
Problem description
This is not a technical but rather an optical problem. When an area definition is dumped using create_areas_def to yaml it for example looks like this:
test:
description: test
projection:
a: 6378169.0
b: 6356583.800000001
lon_0: 0.0
h: 35785831.0
proj: geos
shape:
height: 1752
width: 2916
area_extent:
lower_left_xy:
- 339045.5577000007
- 4365586.606293421
upper_right_xy:
- 1068143.5270000007
- 4803645.4685065895
units: m
This can be loaded fine with load_area and is totally equivalent to the style where the extents are actual lists (see below). So this may be just a matter of choice but it would be nice if the user had the option to choose the style. This can easily be achieved if default_flow_style=None is passed to yaml.dump. To be able to use this create_areas_def should take **kwargs and pass them to ordered_dump.
Expected Output

Actual Result, Traceback if applicable
Versions of Python, package at hand and relevant dependencies
pyresample: 1.16 yaml: 5.3.1
If that final block of yaml you posted is the result, I'm OK with this being the default or even have it hardcoded.
