In the DWARF 4 Spec section 7.2.2, data in many DWARF sections, and some DWARF structures start with "Initial Length Values", which are a 32-bit length, and an optional 64-bit length if the 32 bit value == UINT32_MAX.
This patch abstracts the Initial Length type in YAML, and extends its use to all the DWARF structures that are supported in the DWARFYAML code that have Initial Length values.

Summary: This patch adds some new APIs to enable using the YAML DWARF representation in unit tests. The most basic new API is DWARFYAML::EmitDebugSections which converts a YAML string into a series of owned MemoryBuffer objects stored in a StringMap. The string map can then be used to construct a DWARFContext for parsing in place of an ObjectFile.

This patch pulls the yaml2dwarf code out of yaml2obj into a new set of DWARF emitter functions in the DWARFYAML namespace. This will enable the YAML->DWARF code to be used inside DWARF tests by populating the DWARFYAML structs and calling the Emitter functions.
