Subject: Add support for YAML strategy

Introduces a new 'yaml' strategy using Ansible's `from_yaml` to read
target files. This allows users to group multiple targets with
distinct label sets (e.g., severity or job) within a single file,
optimizing Prometheus file-based service discovery.

- Refactored task structure into `strategy_*.yml` for consistency.
- Extracted shared exporter variable computation.
- Implemented label merging where exporter labels override defaults.
- Included support for groups and hosts without labels to prevent crashes.
