    Support byte-sized enums
    
    To that end add __enum_uint8_decl and __enum_uint8.
    
    By default enums take 4 bytes, but vast majority of them have values
    which would fit in a byte.
    
    One can try to workaround the problem by using bitfields, like so:
    enum some_small_enum foo:8;
    
    but that's ugly and runs into trouble when using atomic_load (you can't
    take an address of a bitfield, even if it is sized to a multiply of a
    byte).
    
    Both gcc 13 and clang support specifying the size, and for older
    variants one can fallback to the "packed" attribute.
    
    Names are mangled in order to avoid mix use with plain enum.
