Dana Jansens 3f01310039 Make choice work for alternatives without parameters (#4815)
This adds support for choice types at a similar level to that of a C
enum, where each alternative has a name but no additional
data/parameters attached to it. We generate a TODO diagnostic if
parameters are specified.

Because there's no extra data, the storage is a simple unsigned integer
discriminant of the smallest possible size.

A choice without any alternatives is not constructible. A choice with a
single alternative is, and has an empty tuple in place of a discriminant
since it has only one state. The empty tuple is used to make the class
non-constructible. This can be improved.

Each alternative is turned into a let binding on the choice that is a
value of the choice with that alternative set as the active one in the
discriminant. This isn't possible to write in user code with a class
right now, since the let binding has the same type as the choice
(which is a class) it is within. It's possible to generate it in semir
however by adding the binding after the class is marked complete.
