We use both -long-option and --long-option in tests. Switch to --long-option for consistency.
In the "llvm-readelf" mode, -long-option is discouraged as it conflicts with grouped short options and it is not accepted by GNU readelf.
While updating the tests, change llvm-readobj -s to llvm-readobj -S to reduce confusion ("s" is --section-headers in llvm-readobj but --symbols in llvm-readelf).

Currently, YAML has the following syntax for describing the symbols:
Symbols:
Local:
LocalSymbol1:
...
LocalSymbol2:
...
...
Global:
GlobalSymbol1:
...
Weak:
...
GNUUnique:
I.e. symbols are grouped by their bindings. That is not very convenient,
because:
It does not allow to set a custom binding, what can be useful for producing
broken/special outputs for test cases. Adding a new binding would require to
change a syntax (what we observed when added GNUUnique recently).
It does not allow to change the order of the symbols in .symtab/.dynsym,
i.e. currently all Local symbols are placed first, then Global, Weak and GNUUnique
are following, but we are not able to change the order.
It is not consistent. Binding is just one of the properties of the symbol,
we do not group them by other properties.
It makes the code more complex that it can be. This patch shows it can be simplified
with the change performed.
The patch changes the syntax to just:
Symbols:
Symbol1:
...
Symbol2:
...
...
With that, we are able to work with the binding field just like with any other symbol property.

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
