This makes enums behave more like ground types, but doesn't quite take the jump and make them ground types. It removes the ability to index into enum variants using field refs, which was used produce error messages in InferWidths (and enums no longer support having unknown widths). This change adds some helpers to determine the sizes of enumerations.
This change modifes InferWidths to to take advantage of the fact that enumerations do not support containing uninferred widths, and removes some now dead code. In addition to this, field refs no longer index into the variants of an enum type, so we can handle them in a similar way to ground types.
