The aux symbols were stored in an opaque std::vector<uint8_t>,
with contents interpreted according to the rest of the symbol.
All aux symbol types but one fit in 18 bytes (sizeof(coff_symbol16)),
and if written to a bigobj, two extra padding bytes are written (as
sizeof(coff_symbol32) is 20). In the storage agnostic intermediate
representation, store the aux symbols as a series of coff_symbol16
sized opaque blobs. (In practice, all such aux symbols only consist
of one aux symbol, so this is more flexible than what reality needs.)
The special case is the file aux symbols, which are written in
potentially more than one aux symbol slot, without any padding,
as one single long string. This can't be stored in the same opaque
vector of fixed sized aux symbol entries. The file aux symbols will
occupy a different number of aux symbol slots depending on the type
of output object file. As nothing in the intermediate process needs
to have accurate raw symbol indices, updating that is moved into the
writer class.

Previously, this was broken - by setting PointerToSymbolTable to zero
but still actually writing the string table length, the object file
header was corrupted.

This is an initial implementation of no-op passthrough copying of COFF
with objcopy.
