Linkers (ld.bfd/gold/lld) place the section header table at the very
end. This allows tools to strip it, which is optional in executable/shared objects.
In addition, if we add or section, the size of the section header table
will change. Placing the section header table in the end keeps section
offsets unchanged.
yaml2obj currently places the section header table immediately after the
program header. Follow what linkers do to make offset updating easier.

We use both -long-option and --long-option in tests. Switch to --long-option for consistency.
In the "llvm-readelf" mode, -long-option is discouraged as it conflicts with grouped short options and it is not accepted by GNU readelf.
While updating the tests, change llvm-readobj -s to llvm-readobj -S to reduce confusion ("s" is --section-headers in llvm-readobj but --symbols in llvm-readelf).

This change adds experimental support for SHT_RELR sections, proposed
here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/generic-abi/bX460iggiKg
Definitions for the new ELF section type and dynamic array tags, as well
as the encoding used in the new section are all under discussion and are
subject to change. Use with caution!
