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.

This addresses the issue introduced in r369169, we need to unwrap
the value first before we can check whether it's empty. This also
swaps the two branches to put the common path first which should
be NFC.

This is useful when trying to read notes from stripped files and matches
the behavior of GNU readelf and eu-readelf.

readelf -n:
```
// "Data size" is not left justified
Owner Data size Description
GNU 0x00000010 NT_GNU_ABI_TAG (ABI version tag)
```
llvm-readelf -n (before):
```
// "Data size" column shifted by 1
Owner Data size Description
GNU 0x00000010 NT_GNU_ABI_TAG (ABI version tag)
```
llvm-readelf -n (after):
```
Owner Data size Description
GNU 0x00000010 NT_GNU_ABI_TAG (ABI version tag)
```
This change is made to reduce the diff with readelf -n, so that it is
slightly easier to check what features readelf implements but we don't.

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).

Currently, YAML has the following syntax for describing the symbols:
Symbols:
Local:
LocalSymbol1:
...
LocalSymbol2:
...
...
Global:
GlobalSymbol1:
...
Weak:
...
GNUUnique:
I.e. symbols are grouped by their bindings. That is not very convenient,
because:
It does not allow to set a custom binding, what can be useful for producing
broken/special outputs for test cases. Adding a new binding would require to
change a syntax (what we observed when added GNUUnique recently).
It does not allow to change the order of the symbols in .symtab/.dynsym,
i.e. currently all Local symbols are placed first, then Global, Weak and GNUUnique
are following, but we are not able to change the order.
It is not consistent. Binding is just one of the properties of the symbol,
we do not group them by other properties.
It makes the code more complex that it can be. This patch shows it can be simplified
with the change performed.
The patch changes the syntax to just:
Symbols:
Symbol1:
...
Symbol2:
...
...
With that, we are able to work with the binding field just like with any other symbol property.

Summary:
Port the GNU style printNotes method to the LLVMStyle subclass.
This is basically just a heavy refactor so that the note parsing/formatting logic from the GNUStyle::printNotes can be shared with LLVMStyle::printNotes.

Add support for printing the GNU Notes. This allows an easy way to view the
build id for a binary built with the build id. Currently, this only handles the
GNU notes, though it would be easy to extend for other note types (default,
FreeBSD, NetBSD, etc). Only the GNU style is supported currently.
