Do not try to parse raw ChangesetSpecs as YAML

Administrator requested to merge mrn/skip-yaml-specs into main

Created by: mrnugget

In https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/issues/16081 we discovered that the YAML parser in go-yaml can choke on control characters, which can be found in a diff.

Leaving aside whether that is a bug in the YAML parser or not, it doesn't make sense that we try to parse the raw changesetspec as YAML, since it'll never be YAML.

So, with https://github.com/sourcegraph/campaignutils/pull/7 we now have the ability to only parse and validate the input as JSON without going through the YAML parser.

That in turn fixes #16081 on the server.
