[Debuginfo] Force enum `DISCR_*` to `static const u64` to allow for inspection via LLDB see [here](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/channel/317568-t-compiler.2Fwg-debugging/topic/Revamping.20Debuginfo/near/486614878) for more info. This change mainly helps `*-msvc` debugged with LLDB. Currently, LLDB cannot inspect `static` struct fields, so the intended visualization for enums is only borderline functional, and niche enums with ranges of discriminant cannot be determined at all . LLDB *can* inspect `static const` values (though for whatever reason, non-enum/non-u64 consts don't work). This change adds the `LLVMRustDIBuilderCreateQualifiedType` to the rust FFI layer to wrap the discr type with a `const` modifier, as well as forcing all generated integer enum `DISCR_*` values to be u64's. Those values will only ever be used by debugger visualizers anyway, so it shouldn't be a huge deal, but I left a fixme comment for it just in case.. The `tag` also still properly reflects the discriminant type, so no information is lost.
This directory currently contains some LLVM support code. This will generally be sent upstream to LLVM in time; for now it lives here. NOTE: the LLVM C++ ABI is subject to between-version breakage and must *never* be exposed to Rust. To allow for easy auditing of that, all Rust-exposed types must be typedef-ed as "LLVMXyz", or "LLVMRustXyz" if they were defined here. Functions that return a failure status and leave the error in the LLVM last error should return an LLVMRustResult rather than an int or anything to avoid confusion. When translating enums, add a single `Other` variant as the first one to allow for new variants to be added. It should abort when used as an input. All other types must not be typedef-ed as such.
