Subject: [PATCH 1/2] [Clang] Emit TBAA info for enums in C

When emitting TBAA information for enums in C code we
currently just treat the data as an 'omnipotent char'.
However, with C strict aliasing this means we fail to
optimise certain cases. For example, in the SPEC2017
xz benchmark there are structs that contain arrays of
enums, and clang pessmistically assumes that accesses
to those enums could alias with other struct members
that have a different type.

According to

https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/language/enum

enums should be treated as 'int' types unless
explicitly specified (C23) or if 'int' would not be
large enough to hold all the enumerated values. In the
latter case the compiler is free to choose a suitable
integer that would hold all such values.

When compiling C code this patch generates TBAA
information for the enum by using an equivalent integer
of the size clang has already chosen for the enum. I
have ignored C++ for now because the rules are more
complex.

New test added here:
