Summary:
Our YAML library's handling of tags isn't perfect, but it is good enough to get rid of the need for the --format argument to yaml2obj. This patch does exactly that.
Instead of requiring --format, it infers the format based on the tags found in the object file. The supported tags are:
!ELF
!COFF
!mach-o
!fat-mach-o
I have a corresponding patch that is quite large that fixes up all the in-tree test cases.

Although in reality the symbol table in ELF resides in a section, the
standard requires that there be no more than one SHT_SYMTAB. To enforce
this constraint, it is cleaner to group all the symbols under a
top-level `Symbols` key on the object file.

It wouldn't really test anything that doesn't already have a more
targeted test:
`yaml2obj-elf-section-basic.yaml`:
Already tests that section content is correctly passed though.
`yaml2obj-elf-symbol-basic.yaml` (this file):
Tests that the st_value and st_size attributes of `main` are set
correctly.
Between those two tests, disassembling the file doesn't really add
anything, so just remove mention of disassembling the file.

This reverts commit r184602. In an upcoming commit, I will just remove
the disassembler part of the test; it was mostly just a "nifty" thing
marking a milestone but it doesn't test anything that isn't tested
elsewhere.

This was causing buildbot failures when build without X86 support.
Is there a way to conditionalize the test on the X86 target being
present?

Previously we unconditionally enforced that section references in
symbols in the YAML had a name that was a section name present in the
object, and linked the references to that section. Now, permit empty
section names (already the default, if the `Section` key is not
provided) to indicate SHN_UNDEF.

Instead, just have 3 sub-lists, one for each of
{STB_LOCAL,STB_GLOBAL,STB_WEAK}.
This allows us to be a lot more explicit w.r.t. the symbol ordering in
the object file, because if we allowed explicitly setting the STB_*
`Binding` key for the symbol, then we might have ended up having to
shuffle STB_LOCAL symbols to the front of the list, which is likely to
cause confusion and potential for error.
Also, this new approach is simpler ;)

After this patch, the ELF file produced by
`yaml2obj-elf-symbol-basic.yaml`, when linked and executed on x86_64
(under SysV ABI, obviously; I tested on Linux), produces a working
executable that goes into an infinite loop!
