    btf: change encoding of forward-declared enums [PR111735]

    The BTF specification does not formally define a representation for
    forward-declared enum types such as:

      enum Foo;

    Forward-declarations for struct and union types are represented by
    BTF_KIND_FWD, which has a 1-bit flag distinguishing the two.

    The de-facto standard format used by other tools like clang and pahole
    is to represent forward-declared enums as BTF_KIND_ENUM with vlen=0,
    i.e. as a regular enum type with no enumerators.  This patch changes
    GCC to adopt that format, and makes a couple of minor cleanups in
    btf_asm_type ().

            (btf_asm_type_ref): Special case references to enum forwards.
            (btf_asm_type): Special case enum forwards. Rename btf_size_type to
            btf_size, and change chained ifs switching on btf_kind into else
ifs.
