Jordan Rose e8229107ac [Serialization] Drop enums if a case payload can't be deserialized. ...

Layout for an enum depends very intimately on its cases---both their
existence and what their payload types are. That means there's no way
to "partly" recover from failure to deserialize an individual case's
payload type, the way we can partly recover from failing to
deserialize an initializer in a class. Add deserialization recovery
to enums by validating all of their payload types up front, and
dropping the enum if we can't import all of the cases.

This is the first time where we're trying to do deserialization
recovery for a /type/, and that could have many more ripple effects
than for a var/func/subscript/init. A better answer here might be to
still import the enum but mark it as unavailable, but in that case
we'd have to make sure to propagate that unavailability to anything
that /used/ the enum as well. (In Swift, availability is checked based
on use of the name, so if someone manages to refer to an enum using
inferred types we'd be in trouble.)

There is one case here that's not covered: if an enum case has a
payload that references a type declaration nested within the enum, but
then that nested type /itself/ can't be loaded for some reason, we
have no way to check that up front, because we can't even try to load
the nested type without loading its parent DeclContext (the enum). I
can't think of an easy solution for this right now.

(In the future, we'll be able to support dropping a single case for
resilient enums. But we're not there right now.)
