This also improves the logic of what is an error:
* getSection(uint_32): only return an error if the index is out of bounds. The
index 0 corresponds to a perfectly valid entry.
* getSection(Elf_Sym): Returns null for symbols that normally don't have
sections and error for out of bound indexes.
In many places this just moves the report_fatal_error up the stack, but those
can then be fixed in smaller patches.

This moves the error checking for string tables to getStringTable which returns
an ErrorOr<StringRef>.
This improves error checking, makes it uniform across all string tables and
makes it possible to check them once instead of once per name.

It was a fairly broken concept for an ELF only class.
An ELF file can have two symbol tables, but they have exactly the same
format. There is no concept of a dynamic or a static symbol. Storing this
on the iterator also makes us do more work per symbol than necessary. To fetch
a name we would:
* Find if we had a static or a dynamic symbol.
* Look at the corresponding symbol table and find the string table section.
* Look at the string table section to fetch its contents.
* Compute the name as a substring of the string table.
All but the last step can be done per symbol table instead of per symbol. This
is a step in that direction.

The parser provides a convenient interface for reading llvm stackmap v1 sections
in object files.
This patch also includes a new option for llvm-readobj, '-stackmap', which uses
the parser to pretty-print stackmap sections for debugging/testing purposes.

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.
