[yaml2obj][ELF] Add an optional `Size` field to the YAML section declaration.
Now the only method to configure ELF section's content and size is to assign
a hexadecimal string to the `Content` field. Unfortunately this way is
completely useless when you need to declare a really large section.
To solve this problem this patch adds one more optional field `Size`
to the `RawContentSection` structure. When yaml2obj generates an ELF file
it uses the following algorithm:
1. If both `Content` and `Size` fields are missed create an empty section.
2. If only `Content` field is missed take section length from the `Size`
field and fill the section by zero.
3. If only `Size` field is missed create a section using data from
the `Content` field.
4. If both `Content` and `Size` fields are provided validate that the `Size`
value is not less than size of `Content` data. Than take section length
from the `Size`, fill beginning of the section by `Content` and the rest
by zero.
Examples
