This commit adds support for a new attribute that will be used to
distinguish between extensible and inextensible enums. There are three
main purposes of this attribute:
1. Give better control over when enum-related warnings are issued.
For example, in the code below, clang will not issue a -Wassign-enum
warning if the enum is marked "open":
enum __attribute__((enum_extensibility(closed))) EnumClosed {
B0 = 1, B1 = 10
};
enum __attribute__((enum_extensibility(open))) EnumOpen {
C0 = 1, C1 = 10
};
enum EnumClosed ec = 100; // warning issued
enum EnumOpen eo = 100; // no warning
2. Enable code-completion and debugging tools to offer better
suggestions.
3. Make it easier for swift's clang importer to determine which swift
type an enum should be mapped to.
