Title:
  yml yaml file extension

Status in netplan:
  Triaged
Status in netplan.io package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  netplan currently only accepts *.yaml files.
  However, it is quite common for YAML files to have a .yml file extension.
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YAML

  I would propose allowing both file extensions when searching for config files, i.e., here:
  https://github.com/CanonicalLtd/netplan/blob/b2c6d87503f86e684c8aa693fe2295a0c27768b0/netplan/configmanager.py#L98 (and possible other places)

  It would also be nice for netplan to at least give a "No config files
  found!" error message to avoid endless frustration with sysadmins
  wondering why their configs are not found and applied.
