[ELF] - Do not produce broken output when amount of sections is > ~65k

This is a part of ttps://bugs.llvm.org//show_bug.cgi?id=38119

We produce broken ELF header now when the number of output sections is >= SHN_LORESERVE (0xff00).

ELF spec says (http://www.sco.com/developers/gabi/2003-12-17/ch4.eheader.html):

e_shnum:
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.)

e_shstrndx
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.)

We did not set these fields correctly earlier. The patch fixes the issue.
