This breaks code that referred to variant names in the same namespace as
their enum. Reexport the variants in the old location or alter code to
refer to the new locations:
```
pub enum Foo {
A,
B
}
fn main() {
let a = A;
}
```
=>
```
pub use self::Foo::{A, B};
pub enum Foo {
A,
B
}
fn main() {
let a = A;
}
```
or
```
pub enum Foo {
A,
B
}
fn main() {
let a = Foo::A;
}
```

This removes all remnants of `@` pointers from rustc. Additionally, this removes
the `GC` structure from the prelude as it seems odd exporting an experimental
type in the prelude by default.
Closes#14193
[breaking-change]
So far the DWARF information for enums was different
for regular enums, univariant enums, Option-like enums,
etc. Regular enums were encoded as unions of structs,
while the other variants were encoded as bare structs.
With the changes in this PR all enums are encoded as
unions so that debuggers can reconstruct if something
originally was a struct, a univariant enum, or an
Option-like enum. For the latter case, information
about the Null variant is encoded into the union field
name. This information can then be used by the
debugger to print a None value actually as None
instead of Some(0x0).
