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.

The patch implements support for both relocation record formats: Elf_Rel
and Elf_Rela. It is possible to define relocation against symbol only.
Relocations against sections will be implemented later. Now yaml2obj
recognizes X86_64, MIPS and Hexagon relocation types.
Example of relocation section specification:
Sections:
- Name: .text
Type: SHT_PROGBITS
Content: "0000000000000000"
AddressAlign: 16
Flags: [SHF_ALLOC]
- Name: .rel.text
Type: SHT_REL
Info: .text
AddressAlign: 4
Relocations:
- Offset: 0x1
Symbol: glob1
Type: R_MIPS_32
- Offset: 0x2
Symbol: glob2
Type: R_MIPS_CALL16
