Set Psych as the YAML engine for Rubinius

Since the rubysl-yaml gem doesn't ship with Psych by default because of
its dependency on libyaml, on Rubinius, the default engine is Syck.

However, if we want to be able to run the application safely on
different rubies, we need to make people using Rubinius rely on Psych.

See http://git.io/uuLVag for further information.
