[yaml2obj] - Add a support for defining null sections in YAMLs.
ELF spec shows (Figure 4-10: Section Header Table Entry:Index 0, http://www.sco.com/developers/gabi/latest/ch4.sheader.html) that section header at index 0 (null section) can have sh_size and sh_link fields set to non-zero values. It says (https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19683-01/817-3677/6mj8mbtc9/index.html): "If the number of sections is greater than or equal to SHN_LORESERVE (0xff00), this member has the value zero and the actual number of section header table entries is contained in the sh_size field of the section header at index 0. Otherwise, the sh_size member of the initial entry contains 0." and: "If the section name string table section index is greater than or equal to SHN_LORESERVE (0xff00), this member has the value SHN_XINDEX (0xffff) and the actual index of the section name string table section is contained in the sh_link field of the section header at index 0. Otherwise, the sh_link member of the initial entry contains 0." At this moment it is not possible to create custom section headers at index 0 using yaml2obj. This patch implements this.
