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.

In D62809 I accidentally added "ELFState<ELFT> &State" as the
first parameter to two methods. There is no reason for having that.
I removed this argument and also moved finalizeStrings declaration to
remove an excessive 'private:' tag.

Currenly we can encode the 'st_other' field of symbol using 3 fields.
'Visibility' is used to encode STV_* values.
'Other' is used to encode everything except the visibility, but it can't handle arbitrary values.
'StOther' is used to encode arbitrary values when 'Visibility'/'Other' are not helpfull enough.
'st_other' field is used to encode symbol visibility and platform-dependent
flags and values. Problem to encode it is that it consists of Visibility part (STV_* values)
which are enumeration values and the Other part, which is different and inconsistent.
For MIPS the Other part contains flags for all STO_MIPS_* values except STO_MIPS_MIPS16.
(Like comment in ELFDumper says: "Someones in their infinite wisdom decided to make
STO_MIPS_MIPS16 flag overlapped with other ST_MIPS_xxx flags."...)
And for PPC64 the Other part might actually encode any value.
This patch implements custom logic for handling the st_other and removes
'Visibility' and 'StOther' fields.
Here is an example of a new YAML style this patch allows:
- Name: foo
Other: [ 0x4 ]
- Name: bar
Other: [ STV_PROTECTED, 4 ]
- Name: zed
Other: [ STV_PROTECTED, STO_MIPS_OPTIONAL, 0xf8 ]

This relands this commit, I mistakenly reverted the original change

This is a follow up discussed in the comments of D66583.
Currently, if for example, we have both StOther and Other set in YAML document for a symbol,
then yaml2obj reports an "unknown key 'Other'" error.
It happens because 'mapOptional()' is never called for 'Other/Visibility' in this case,
leaving those unhandled.
This message does not describe the reason of the error well. This patch fixes it.

Now that we've moved to C++14, we no longer need the llvm::make_unique
implementation from STLExtras.h. This patch is a mechanical replacement
of (hopefully) all the llvm::make_unique instances across the monorepo.

In some cases a symbol might have section index == SHN_XINDEX.
This is an escape value indicating that the actual section header index
is too large to fit in the containing field.
Then the SHT_SYMTAB_SHNDX section is used. It contains the 32bit values
that stores section indexes.
ELF gABI says that there can be multiple SHT_SYMTAB_SHNDX sections,
i.e. for example one for .symtab and one for .dynsym
(1) https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/generic-abi/-XJAV5d8PRg
(2) DT_SYMTAB_SHNDX: http://www.sco.com/developers/gabi/latest/ch5.dynamic.html
In this patch I am only supporting a single SHT_SYMTAB_SHNDX associated
with a .symtab. This is a more or less common case which is used a few tests I saw in LLVM.
I decided not to create the SHT_SYMTAB_SHNDX section as "implicit",
but implement is like a kind of regular section for now.
i.e. tools do not recreate this section or its content, like they do for
symbol table sections, for example. That should allow to write all kind of
possible broken test cases for our needs and keep the output closer to requested.
