[PATCH] D50761: [yaml2obj] - Teach tool to produce SHT_GROUP section with a custom type.

[George Rimar via Phabricator via llvm-commits]

grimar created this revision.
grimar added reviewers: jhenderson, sanjoy, kastiglione.
Herald added a subscriber: jakehehrlich.

Currently, it is possible to use yaml2obj for producing SHT_GROUP sections
of type GRP_COMDAT. For LLD test case I need to produce an object with
a broken (different from GRP_COMDAT) type.

The patch teaches tool to do such things.
