Default `repr(C)` enums to `c_int` size
This is what ISO C strongly implies this is correct, and
many processor-specific ABIs imply or mandate this size, so
"everyone" (LLVM, gcc...) defaults to emitting enums this way.
However, this is by no means guaranteed by ISO C,
and the bare-metal Arm targets show it can be overridden,
which rustc supports via `c-enum-min-bits` in a target.json.
The override is a flag named `-fshort-enums` in clang and gcc,
but introducing a CLI flag is probably unnecessary for rustc.
This flag can be used by non-Arm microcontroller targets,
like AVR and MSP430, but it is not enabled for them by default.
Rust programmers who know the size of a target's enums
can use explicit reprs, which also lets them match C23 code.
This change is most relevant to 16-bit targets: AVR and MSP430.
Most of rustc's targets use 32-bit ints, but ILP64 does exist.
Regardless, rustc should now correctly handle enums for
both very small and very large targets.
Thanks to William for confirming MSP430 behavior,
and to Waffle for better style and no-core `size_of` asserts.

The code that consumes PointerKind (`adjust_for_rust_scalar` in rustc_ty_utils)
ended up using PointerKind variants to talk about Rust reference types (& and
&mut) anyway, making the old code structure quite confusing: one always had to
keep in mind which PointerKind corresponds to which type. So this changes
PointerKind to directly reflect the type.
This does not change behavior.
...and remove it from `PointeeInfo`, which isn't meant for this.
There are still various places (marked with FIXMEs) that assume all pointers
have the same size and alignment. Fixing this requires parsing non-default
address spaces in the data layout string, which will be done in a followup.
there were fixmes for this already
i am about to remove is_ptr (since callers need to properly distinguish
between pointers in different address spaces), so might as well do this
at the same time
Add StableOrd trait as proposed in MCP 533.
The `StableOrd` trait can be used to mark types as having a stable sort order across compilation sessions. Collections that sort their items in a stable way can safely implement HashStable by hashing items in sort order.
See https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/533 for more information.
Remove useless borrows and derefs
They are nothing more than noise.
<sub>These are not all of them, but my clippy started crashing (stack overflow), so rip :(</sub>
