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 reverts r365193 (git commit 194f16b354)
This patch doesn't work with binaries built w/ `--emit-relocs`, e.g.
```
$ echo 'int main() { return 0; }' | clang -Wl,--emit-relocs -x c - -o foo && llvm-objcopy --strip-unneeded foo
llvm-objcopy: error: 'foo': not stripping symbol '__gmon_start__' because it is named in a relocation
```

llvm-objcopy previously knew nothing about data in segments that wasn't
covered by section headers, meaning that it wrote zeroes instead of what
was there. As it is possible for this data to be useful to the loader,
this patch causes llvm-objcopy to start preserving this data. Data in
sections that are explicitly removed continues to be written as zeroes.
This fixes https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41005.
