YAML trailing comma optional

See original GitHub issue

Prettier 1.19.1

Input:

`[update_vars, ]`

Output:

`[update_vars]`

Expected behavior:

So instead of: [update_vars] we would get tags: [update_vars, ]. Right now trailing commas are removed by the formatter. An option to disable the removal would already be helpful, then I could set them manually. I like trailing commas everywhere, as they remind me of the type I am dealing with.

No repro:

--parser yaml
Input:
`[update_vars, ]`
Output:
`[update_vars, ]`

No repro: The playground link you give currently errors. This link however does seem to be a repro case. (Not that I like trailing commas.)
