This patch brings various error messages into line with each other, by
removing trailing full stops, and making the first letter lower-case.
This addresses https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40859.

If certain switches are not specified, llvm-strip behaves as if
--strip-all were specified. This means that for testing, when we don't
want the stripping behaviour, we have to specify one of these switches,
which can be confusing. This change adds --no-strip-all to allow an
alternative way of suppressing the default stripping, in a less
confusing manner.

llvm-objcopy currently emits an error if a section to be removed is
referenced by another section. This is a reasonable thing to do, but is
different to GNU objcopy. We should allow users who know what they are
doing to have a way to produce the invalid ELF. This change adds a new
switch --allow-broken-links to both llvm-strip and llvm-objcopy to do
precisely that. The corresponding sh_link field is then set to 0 instead
of an error being emitted.
I cannot use llvm-readelf/readobj to test the link fields because they
emit an error if any sections, like the .dynsym, cannot be properly
loaded.

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.

In this diff the elf-specific tests are moved into the subfolder llvm-objcopy/ELF
(the change was discussed in the comments on https://reviews.llvm.org/D54674).
A separate code reivew wasn't sent for this change
since Phabricator is failing to create such a large diff.
Test plan:
make check-all
make check-llvm-tools
make check-llvm-tools-llvm-objcopy
