The section is described here:
https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/LSB_1.3.0/gLSB/gLSB/symverrqmts.html
Patch just teaches obj2yaml/yaml2obj to dump and parse such sections.
We did the finalization of string tables very late,
and I had to move the logic to make it a bit earlier.
That was needed in this patch since .gnu.version_r adds strings to .dynstr.
This might also be useful for implementing other special sections.
Everything else changed in this patch seems to be straightforward.

ELFYAML.h contains a `Section` class which is a base for a few other
sections classes that are used for mapping different section types.
`Section` has a `StringRef Info` field used for storing sh_info.
At the same time, sh_info has very different meanings for sections and
cannot be processed in a similar way generally,
for example ELFDumper does not handle it in `dumpCommonSection`
but do that in `dumpGroup` and `dumpCommonRelocationSection` respectively.
At this moment, we have and handle it as a string, because that was possible for
the current use case. But also it can simply be a number:
For SHT_GNU_verdef is "The number of version definitions within the section."
The patch moves `Info` field out to be able to have it as a number.
With that change, each class will be able to decide what type and purpose
of the sh_info field it wants to use.
I also had to edit 2 test cases. This is because patch fixes a bug. Previously we
accepted yaml files with Info fields for all sections (for example, for SHT_DYNSYM too).
But we do not handle it and the resulting objects had zero sh_info fields set for
such sections. Now it is accepted only for sections that supports it.

This was introduced by me in r353613.
I tried to fix Big-endian bot and replaced
uintX_t -> ELFT::Xword. But ELFT::Xword is a packed<uint64_t>,
so it is always 8 bytes and that was obviously incorrect.
My intention was to use something like packed<uint> actually, which
size is target dependent.
Patch fixes this bug and adds a test case, since no bots seems reported this.

to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

This allows to set custom Info field value for SHT_GROUP sections.
It is useful to allow this because we would be able to replace at least one binary

We've been running doxygen with the autobrief option for a couple of
years now. This makes the \brief markers into our comments
redundant. Since they are a visual distraction and we don't want to
encourage more \brief markers in new code either, this patch removes
them all.

Summary:
This change introduces a `DynamicSymbols` field to the ELF specific YAML
supported by `yaml2obj` and `obj2yaml`. This grouping of symbols provides a way
to represent ELF dynamic symbols. The `DynamicSymbols` structure is identical to
the existing `Symbols`.

Summary:
This change allows yaml input to control the order of implicitly added sections
(`.symtab`, `.strtab`, `.shstrtab`). The order is controlled by adding a
placeholder section of the given name to the Sections field.
This change is to support changes in D39582, where it is desirable to control
the location of the `.dynsym` section.
This reapplied version fixes:
1. use of a function call within an assert
2. failing lld test which has an unnamed section
3. incorrect section count when given an unnamed section
Additionally, one more test to cover the unnamed section failure.

Sometimes program headers have larger alignments than any of the
sections they contain. Currently yaml2obj can't produce such files. A
bug recently appeared in llvm-objcopy that failed in such a case. I'd
like to be able to add tests to llvm-objcopy for such cases.
This change adds an optional alignment parameter to program headers that
will be used instead of calculating the alignment.

Some kinds of relocations do not have symbols, like R_X86_64_RELATIVE
for instance. I would like to test this case in D36554 but currently
can't because symbols are required by yaml2obj. The other option is
using the empty symbol but that doesn't seem quite right to me.
This change makes the Symbol field of Relocation optional and in the
case where the user does not specify a symbol name the Symbol index is 0.

Summary:
Our YAML library's handling of tags isn't perfect, but it is good enough to get rid of the need for the --format argument to yaml2obj. This patch does exactly that.
Instead of requiring --format, it infers the format based on the tags found in the object file. The supported tags are:
!ELF
!COFF
!mach-o
!fat-mach-o
I have a corresponding patch that is quite large that fixes up all the in-tree test cases.

In this mode it just tries to tail merge the strings without imposing any other
format constrains. It will not, for example, add a null byte between them.

not optimize after all.
