`hello_world_len` points to the special `st_shndx == SHN_ABS == 0xF1FF`.

`0xF1FF` is chosen so as to not conflict with other sections.

`st_value == 0xD == 13` which is the value we have stored there on the assembly: the length of the string `Hello World!`.

This means that relocation will not affect this value: it is a constant.

This is small optimization that our assembler does for us and which has ELF support.

If we had used the address of `hello_world_len` anywhere, the assembler would not have been able to mark it as `SHN_ABS`, and the linker would have extra relocation work on it later.
