[yaml2obj] - Add a way to override sh_type section field.
This adds the `ShType` key similar to others `Sh*` keys we have. My use case is the following. Imagine we have a `SHT_SYMTAB_SHNDX` section and want to hide it from a dumper. The natural way would be to do something like: ``` - Name: .symtab_shndx Type: [[TYPE=SHT_SYMTAB_SHNDX]] Entries: [ 0, 1 ] ``` and then change the TYPE from `SHT_SYMTAB_SHNDX` to something else, for example to `SHT_PROGBITS`. But we have a problem: regular sections does not have `Entries` key, so yaml2obj will be unable to produce a section. The solution is to introduce a `ShType` key to override the final type. This is not the first time I am facing the need to change the type. I was able to invent workarounds or solved issues differently in the past, but finally came to conclusion that we just should support the `ShType`.
