Imagine we have a YAML declaration of few sections: `foo1`, `<unnamed 2>`, `foo3`, `foo4`.
To put them into segment we can do (1*):
```
Sections:
- Section: foo1
- Section: foo4
```
or we can use (2*):
```
Sections:
- Section: foo1
- Section: foo3
- Section: foo4
```
or (3*) :
```
Sections:
- Section: foo1
## "(index 2)" here is a name that we automatically created for a unnamed section.
- Section: (index 2)
- Section: foo3
- Section: foo4
```
It looks really confusing that we don't have to list all of sections.
At first I've tried to make this rule stricter and report an error when there is a gap
(i.e. when a section is included into segment, but not listed explicitly).
This did not work perfect, because such approach conflicts with unnamed sections/fills (see (3*)).
This patch drops "Sections" key and introduces 2 keys instead: `FirstSec` and `LastSec`.
Both are optional.

Currently we might derive the dynamic symbol table size from the DT_HASH hash table (using its `nchain` field).
It is possible to crash dumpers with a broken relocation that refers to a symbol with an index
that is too large. To trigger it, the inferred size of the dynamic symbol table should go past the end of the object.
This patch adds a size validation + warning.

Currently we have to set 'Machine' to something in our
YAML descriptions. Usually we use 'EM_X86_64' for 64-bit targets
and 'EM_386' for 32-bit targets. At the same time, in fact, in most
cases our tests do not need a machine type and we can use
'EM_NONE'.
This is cleaner, because avoids the need of using a particular machine.
In this patch I've made the 'Machine' key optional (the default value,
when it is not specified is `EM_NONE`) and removed it (where possible)
from yaml2obj, obj2yaml and llvm-readobj tests.
There are few tests left where I decided not to remove it, because
I didn't want to touch CHECK lines or doing anything more complex
than a removing a "Machine: *" line and formatting lines around.

When we deriving the number of symbols from the DT_HASH table, we can crash when
calculate the number of symbols in the symbol table when SHT_DYNSYM
has sh_entsize == 0.
The patch fixes the issue.

If the section headers have been removed by a tool such as llvm-objcopy
or llvm-strip, previously llvm-readobj/llvm-readelf would not dump the
dynamic symbols when --dyn-symbols was specified. However, the nchain
value of the DT_HASH data specifies the number of dynamic symbols, so if
it is present, we can use that. This patch implements this behaviour.
