PEL: Allow shrinking of a UserData section
Add a shrink() function to the UserData class (with a virtual version of
it in the Section base class) that will shrink the class to a new size.
This is done so that when UserData sections are added to PELs the
sections can be shrunk if necessary to keep the PEL under the maximum
size, which is 16KB.
