debuginfo: Set bitwidth appropriately in enum variant tags
Previously, we unconditionally set the bitwidth to 128-bits, the largest
an enum would possibly be. Then, LLVM would cut down the constant by
chopping off leading zeroes before emitting the DWARF. LLVM only
supported 64-bit enumerators, so this would also have occasionally
resulted in truncated data.
LLVM added support for 128-bit enumerators in llvm/llvm-project#125578
That patchset also trusts the constant to describe how wide the variant tag is.
As a result, we went from emitting tags that looked like:
DW_AT_discr_value (0xfe)
(`form1`)
to emitting tags that looked like:
DW_AT_discr_value (<0x10> fe ff ff ff 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 )
This makes the `DW_AT_discr_value` encode at the bitwidth of the tag,
which:
1. Is probably closer to our intentions in terms of describing the data.
2. Doesn't invoke the 128-bit support which may not be supported by all
debuggers / downstream tools.
3. Will result in smaller debug information.
