Add yaml2obj. A utility to convert YAML to binaries.
yaml2obj takes a textual description of an object file in YAML format and outputs the binary equivalent. This greatly simplifies writing tests that take binary object files as input. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@161205 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
