Convert ASA access-list rules to a parseable YAML format.

This script spun out of a string of firewall migrations off the legacy ASA platform, I need the ability to convert access-lists to a parseable format. There are multiple reasons for needing this script. First is for human readability and auditing purposes. Second is to have a parseable rule base for duplication or migration to other firewall types.
