Subject: [PATCH] feat(data_structures): add `fieldless_enum!` macro (#19876)

Add a `fieldless_enum!` macro. This macro generates a `VARIANTS` constant on the type that lists all the enum's variants.

```rs
fieldless_enum! {
    enum Foo {
        A,
        B,
        C,
    }
}

assert_eq!(Foo::VARIANTS, [Foo::A, Foo::B, Foo::C]);
```

This is useful for code which interacts with the enum, and needs to take some action on each variant.
