The current state of affairs has auxiliary symbols described as a big
bag of bytes. This is less than satisfying, it detracts from the YAML
file as being human readable.
Instead, allow for symbols to optionally contain their auxiliary data.
This allows us to have a much higher level way of describing things like
weak symbols, function definitions and section definitions.
This depends on D3105.

Previously, yaml2coff.cpp had a writeHexData static helper function to
do this, but it is generally useful functionality.
Also, validate hex strings up-front to avoid running having to handle
errors "deep inside" the yaml2obj code (it also gives better diagnostics
than it used to).
