    Commit e63ed12ead17e47d77e848da0e7b9f4dd3ad5127
    Bugfix: Make it able to write more than 64k - 1 COFF relocations
    
    If the relocation count is greater than 0xffff then it can't fit
    in the NumberOfRelocations field of a section header. In order to
    specify greater relocation count IMAGE_SCN_LNK_NRELOC_OVFL flag
    should be added to Characteristics and the actual relocation count
    should be written into VirtualAddress field of the first COFF
    relocation.

    Bugfix: Make it able to read more than 64k - 1 COFF relocations
    
    New EPEP API allows to read more than 64k - 1 relocations. Use it
    when reading relocation count for filling SectionInfo and when
    reading relocations for wriring the output file.

    Commit 3bed4e348a486c346d0a452c58c1d85e1805c09d
    Feature: Higher-level COFF relocations API
    
    Number of COFF relocations of a section is stored in the 16-bit
    NumberOfRelocations field of a section header. If a COFF object has
    more than 2^16 - 1 relocations, then the value does not fit in the
    field.
    
    To solve this problem, IMAGE_SCN_LNK_NRELOC_OVFL flag of a section
    header has been introduced. If this flag is set for the section,
    then the actual number of relocations is stored in the
    VirtualAddress field of the first relocation.
    
    If the flag is set, then NumberOfRelocations field of the section
    header should be equal to 0xffff, othervice the linker should give
    an error.
    
    So this patch introduces few functions adressing this mechanism.
    
    epep_section_contains_extended_relocations:
    
        Checks whether the section has more than 2^16 - 1 relocations.
        Retrns error if the IMAGE_SCN_LNK_NRELOC_OVFL flag is set, but
        the NumberOfRelocations field is not equal to 0xffff.
    
    epep_get_section_extended_number_of_relocations:
    
        Reads the number of COFF relocations from the VirtualAddress
        field of the first COFF relocation.
    
    epep_get_section_number_of_relocations_x:
    
        Gives the number of meaningful relocations of the section.
    
        If the section has less than 2^16 relocations, then returns the
        value of the NumberOfRelocations field of the section header,
        othervice reads the number of relocations from the first COFF
        relocation, but: since the first relocation in this case is not
        meaningful, gives the actual number of relocations minus one.
        This is used in the function documented below.
    
        Returns 1 in the last argument if the section contains extended
        number of relocations, 0 othervice.
    
    epep_get_section_relocation_by_index_x:
    
        If the section has less than 2^16 relocations, then just reads
        a relocation by the given index. In case if the section has
        extended number of relocations, the first relocation is not
        meaningful, so it is skipped, and the relocation at index + 1
        is read instead.
