Small test case

A comprehensive switch(enum_value) that has a case for each named enum value,
all of which have a "return" confuses clang. It believes that no possible
runtime value is possible besides the named enum values, however this is
incorrect. C (and clang) allow enum-typed variables to be assigned from
non-named values of the enum.

The test case compiles into a correct executable, but if compiled with
-Wunreachable-code, issues an incorrect warning like:

clang -Wunreachable-code -o testclangunreachable testclangunreachable.c &&
./testclangunreachable
testclangunreachable.c:11:12: warning: will never be executed
[-Wunreachable-code]
    printf("Unreachable code reached!\n");
           ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 warning generated.
Unreachable code reached!
