[llvm-objcopy][llvm-strip][test] Improve testing

This patch adds a number of new test cases that cover various
llvm-objcopy and llvm-strip features that had missing test coverage of
various descriptions:
* --add-section - checked the shdr properties, not just the content.
* Dedicated test case for --add-symbol when there are many sections.
* Show that --change-start accepts negative values without overflow.
This was previously present but got lost between review versions.
* --dump-section - show that multiple sections can be dumped
simultaneously to different files, and that an error is reported when
a section cannot be found.
* --globalize-symbol(s) - show that symbols that are not mentioned are
not globalized, if they would otherwise be, and that missing symbols
from the list do not cause problems.
* --keep-global-symbol - show that the --regex option can be used in
conjunction with this option.
* --keep-symbol - show that the --regex option can be used in
conjunction with this option.
* --localize-symbol(s) - show that symbols that are not mentioned are
not localized, if they would otherwise be, and that missing symbols
from the list do not cause problems.
* --prefix-alloc-sections - show the behaviour of an empty string
argument and multiple arguments.
* --prefix-symbols - show the behaviour of an empty string argument and
multiple arguments. Also show the option applies to undefined symbols.
* --redefine-symbol - show that symbols with no name can be renamed,
that it is not an error if a symbol is not specified, and that the
option doesn't chain (i.e. --redefine-sym a=b --redefine-sym b=c does
not redefine a as c).
* --rename-section - show that all section flags are preserved if none
are specified. Also show that the option does not chain.
* --set-section-alignment - show that only specified sections have
their alignments changed.
* --set-section-flags - show which section flags are preserved when this
option is used. Also show that unspecified sections are not affected.
* --preserve-dates - show that -p is an alias of --preserve-dates.
* --strip-symbol - show that --regex works with this option for
llvm-objcopy as well as llvm-strip.
* --strip-unneeded-symbol(s) - show more clearly that needed symbols are
not stripped even if requested by this option.
* --allow-broken-links - show the sh_link of a symbol table is set to 0
when its string table has been removed when this option is specified.
* --weaken-symbol(s) - show that symbols that are not mentioned are not
weakened, if they would otherwise be, and that missing symbols from
the list do not cause problems.
* --wildcard - show the wildcard behaviour for several options that were
previously unchecked.

[yaml2obj][obj2yaml] - Do not create a symbol table by default.

This patch tries to resolve problems faced in D68943
and uses some of the code written by Konrad Wilhelm Kleine
in that patch.

Previously, yaml2obj tool always created a .symtab section.
This patch changes that. With it we only create it when
have a "Symbols:" tag in the YAML document or when
we need to create it because it is used by another section(s).

obj2yaml follows the new behavior and does not print "Symbols:"
anymore when there is no symbol table.

[llvm-strip]Add --no-strip-all to disable --strip-all behaviour (including default stripping)

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][llvm-strip] Add switch to allow removing referenced sections

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.
