yes: Simplify, only support one argument

The previous code was too difficult to decipher for such a simple tool.

Since yes(1) is not specified in any standard and several well-known
implementations only support a single argument, do the same here.

Thanks to everyone who offered implementation suggestions in the
hackers@suckless.org email thread.
