Description
I noticed for several PE samples that number of relocations printed by `retdec-fileinfo --verbose` is always 0.
For example file `e9a77cb30595ef74f7dcd85d4faa340bbae84aca9e0809a76c351c97d2220158` has `.reloc` section with some data. I can view this data in other tools like `CFF Explorer`.
Relocations are mentioned in issue #137 which hints at possibility that this not yet implemented.
We should show correct number of relocations or at least not present any information about relocations unless #137 is implemented.

Research direction
Reproduce the report with retdec-fileinfo --verbose on the referenced PE sample and inspect the .reloc section. Review issue #137 to determine whether relocation counting is implemented; done means reporting the correct relocation count or suppressing relocation information until that work exists.
