Object: BSS/virtual sections don't have contents

Users of getSectionContents shouldn't try to pass in BSS or virtual
sections.  In all instances, this is a bug in the code calling this
routine.

N.B. Some COFF implementations (like CL) will mark their BSS sections as
taking space on disk.  This would confuse COFFObjectFile into thinking
the section is larger than the file.
