When an ELF object uses extended symbol section indexes (IOW it has a
.symtab_shndx section), these must be kept in sync with the regular
symbol table (.symtab).

So for every new symbol we emit, make sure to also emit a
.symtab_shndx value to keep the arrays of equal size.

Note: since we're writing an UNDEF symbol, most GElf_Sym fields will
be 0 and we can repurpose one (st_size) to host the 0 for the xshndx
value.
