Description

I do not know why we use the super-weird :setting: "xyz" syntax but it is confusing. This is not a typical YAML. It is not a typical UNIX config. It's some kind of Ruby-YAML hybrid.

This patch converts all keys to symbols, we can do a followup puppet update and write all config files without the colons.

For what it's worth, we do the exact same thing in Foreman. It's the result of calling to_yaml on a hash with a symbol:

[4] pry(main)> puts ({a: 'b'}.to_yaml)
---
:a: b

In Python it's part of the string:

print(yaml.dump({':a': 'b'}))                                                                                                                                                      
:a: b
