No test?

This is also missing a few more spots where checks assume a signed
section number (in COFFObjectFile::getSymbolType,
COFFObjectFile::getSymbolSize and llvm-readobj COFFDumper::printSymbol).

These checks shouldn't really be done this way and instead use a helper
function to determine whether the section number is an index.
