[Bug c/26370] anon union/struct at top level

Given that we have anon unions, and given that unions can exist at top level
and function level, this is a very logical extension. It lifts an annoying and
arbitrary restriction.

>From the user's point of view, this doesn't add anything. It removes an
inconsistancy.

You could say that nobody NEEDS anon unions at all, yet they were found useful.
The practice of adding useful-but-not-required stuff started before C was even
called C.
