[INSTRM-1466] use safe_load() to read a yaml file

I needed to edit a file in ics_cobraCharmer as follows to load a yaml file with PyYAML.

yamlPath = configPathForPfi(version=version, rootDir=rootDir)
with open(yamlPath, mode='rt') as yamlFile:

config = yaml.load(yamlFile)
+ config = yaml.safe_load(yamlFile)

return [c.strip() for c in config['modules']]

I think this is due to an additional requirement for PyYAML 5.1+. The above modification is the easist one, but there are various ways to specify a loader explicitly in their web site.
