We have an issue currently. The following YAML piece just ignores the `Excluded` key.
```
SectionHeaderTable:
Sections: []
Excluded:
- Name: .foo
```
Currently the meaning is: exclude the whole table.
The code checks that the `Sections` key is empty and doesn't catch/check
invalid/duplicated/missed `Excluded` entries.
Also there is no way to exclude all sections except the first null section,
because `Sections: []` currently just excludes the whole the sections header table.
To fix it, I suggest a change of the behavior.
1) A new `NoHeaders` key is added. It provides an explicit syntax to drop the whole table.
2) The meaning of the following is changed:
```
SectionHeaderTable:
Sections: []
Excluded:
- Name: .foo
```
Assuming there are 2 sections in the object (a null section and `.foo`), with this patch it
means: exclude the `.foo` section, keep the null section. The null section is an implicit
section and I think it is reasonable to make "Sections: []" to mean it is implicitly added.
It will be consistent with the global "Sections" tag that is used to describe sections.
3) `SectionHeaderTable->Sections` is now optional. No `Sections` is the same as
`Sections: []` (I think it avoids a confusion).
4) Using of `NoHeaders` together with `Sections`/`Excluded` is not allowed.
5) It is possible to use the `Excluded` key without the `Sections` key now (in this case
`Excluded` must contain all sections).
6) `SectionHeaderTable:` or `SectionHeaderTable: []` is not allowed.
7) When the `SectionHeaderTable` key is present, we still require all sections to be
present in `Sections` and `Excluded` lists. No changes here, we are still strict.
