The underlaying issues is that this code can't really know if an OS specific or
processor specific section number should return true or false.
One option would be to assert or return an error, but that looks like over
engineering since extensions are not that common.
It seems better to have these be direct implementation of the ELF spec so that
they are natural for someone familiar with ELF reading the code.
Code that does have to handle OS/Architecture specific values can do it at
a higher level.

The ELF spec is very clear:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If the value is non-zero, it represents a string table index that gives the
symbol name. Otherwise, the symbol table entry has no name.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
In particular, a st_name of 0 most certainly doesn't mean that the symbol has
the same name as the section.

CloudABI is a POSIX-like runtime environment built around the concept of
capability-based security. More details:

CloudABI uses its own ELFOSABI number. This number has been allocated by
the maintainers of ELF a couple of days ago.

When processing assembly like
.long .text
we were creating a new undefined symbol .text. GAS on the other hand would
handle that as a reference to the .text section.
This patch implements that by creating the section symbols earlier so that
they are visible during asm parsing.
The patch also updates llvm-readobj to print the symbol number in the relocation
dump so that the test can differentiate between two sections with the same name.

Users of getSectionContents shouldn't try to pass in BSS or virtual
sections. In all instances, this is a bug in the code calling this
routine.
N.B. Some COFF implementations (like CL) will mark their BSS sections as
taking space on disk. This would confuse COFFObjectFile into thinking
the section is larger than the file.

We need .symtab_shndxr if and only if a symbol references a section with an
index >= 0xff00.
The old code was trying to figure out if the section was needed ahead of time,
making it a fairly dependent on the code actually writing the table. It was
also somewhat conservative and would create the section in cases where it was
not needed.
If I remember correctly, the old structure was there so that the sections were
created in the same order gas creates them. That was valuable when MC's support
for ELF was new and we tested with elf-dump.py.
This patch refactors the symbol table creation to another class and makes it
obvious that .symtab_shndxr is really only created when we are about to output
a reference to a section index >= 0xff00.
While here, also improve the tests to use macros. One file is one section
short of needing .symtab_shndxr, the second one has just the right number.

This compiles with no changes to clang/lld/lldb with MSVC and includes
overloads to various functions which are used by those projects and llvm
which have OwningPtr's as parameters. This should allow out of tree
projects some time to move. There are also no changes to libs/Target,
which should help out of tree targets have time to move, if necessary.

Enhance the ARM specific parsing support in llvm-readobj to support attributes.
This allows for simpler tests to validate encoding of the build attributes as
specified in the ARM ELF specification.

This adds some preliminary support for decoding ARM EHABI unwinding information.
The major functionality that remains from complete support is bytecode
translation.
Each Unwind Index Table is printed out as a separate entity along with its
section index, name, offset, and entries.
Each entry lists the function address, and if possible, the name, of the
function to which it corresponds. The encoding model, personality routine or
index, and byte code is also listed.

* ELFTypes.h contains template magic for defining types based on endianess, size, and alignment.
* ELFFile.h defines the ELFFile class which provides low level ELF specific access.
* ELFObjectFile.h contains ELFObjectFile which uses ELFFile to implement the ObjectFile interface.
