Insert checks for enum discriminants when debug assertions are enabled
Similar to the existing null-pointer and alignment checks, this checks for valid enum discriminants on creation of enums through unsafe transmutes. Essentially this sanitizes patterns like the following:
```rust
let val: MyEnum = unsafe { std::mem::transmute<u32, MyEnum>(42) };
```
An extension of this check will be done in a follow-up that explicitly sanitizes for extern enum values that come into Rust from e.g. C/C++.
This check is similar to Miri's capabilities of checking for valid construction of enum values.

https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/104862. Thank you so much for keeping this code up and the detailed comments!
I also pair-programmed large parts of this together with vabr-g@.
