fix: properly output multi-doc machine config in get mc

For `get mc -o json|yaml` we pretend that `spec` field is string and not an actual yaml map. That way you
can see the full spec in unformatted view using `talosctl -n <node> get mc -o yaml` or formatted using
`talosctl -n <node> get mc -o yaml | yq .spec`.

`edit mc` command is unaffected.

Fixes #8687
