Teach WinCOFFObjectWriter how to write -mbig-obj style object files;
these object files allow for more sections inside an object file.
Our support for BigObj is notably different from binutils and cl: we
implicitly upgrade object files to BigObj instead of asking the user to
compile the same file *again* but with another flag. This matches up
with how LLVM treats ELF variants.
This was tested by forcing LLVM to always emit BigObj files and running
the entire test suite. A specific test has also been added.
I've lowered the maximum number of sections in a normal COFF file,
VS "14" CTP 3 supports no more than 65279 sections. This is important
otherwise we might not switch to BigObj quickly enough, leaving us with
a COFF file that we couldn't link.
yaml2obj support is all that remains to implement.

Input YAML file might contain multiple object file definitions.
New option `-docnum` allows to specify an ordinal number (starting from 1)
of definition used for an object file generation.

The current state of affairs has auxiliary symbols described as a big
bag of bytes. This is less than satisfying, it detracts from the YAML
file as being human readable.
Instead, allow for symbols to optionally contain their auxiliary data.
This allows us to have a much higher level way of describing things like
weak symbols, function definitions and section definitions.
This depends on D3105.

* std::string::append(int, int) can be ambiguous.
* std::vector<>::data() is a C++11 feature, use ArrayRef abstraction.

Previously, yaml2coff.cpp had a writeHexData static helper function to
do this, but it is generally useful functionality.
Also, validate hex strings up-front to avoid running having to handle
errors "deep inside" the yaml2obj code (it also gives better diagnostics
than it used to).
