Auto merge of #86860 - fee1-dead:stabilize, r=LeSeulArtichaut
Stabilize `arbitrary_enum_discriminant`
Closes #60553.
----
## Stabilization Report
_copied from https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/60553#issuecomment-865922311_
### Summary
Enables a user to specify *explicit* discriminants on arbitrary enums.
Previously, this was hard to achieve:
```rust
#[repr(u8)]
enum Foo {
A(u8) = 0,
B(i8) = 1,
C(bool) = 42,
}
```
Someone would need to add 41 hidden variants in between as a workaround with implicit discriminants.
In conjunction with [RFC 2195](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/2195-really-tagged-unions.md), this feature would provide more flexibility for FFI and unsafe code involving enums.
### Test cases
Most tests are in [`src/test/ui/enum-discriminant`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/tree/master/src/test/ui/enum-discriminant), there are two [historical](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/src/test/ui/parser/tag-variant-disr-non-nullary.rs) [tests](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/src/test/ui/parser/issue-17383.rs) that are now covered by the feature (removed by this pr due to them being obsolete).
### Edge cases
The feature is well defined and does not have many edge cases.
One [edge case](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/70509) was related to another unstable feature named `repr128` and is resolved.
### Previous PRs
The [implementation PR](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/60732) added documentation to the Unstable Book, https://github.com/rust-lang/reference/pull/1055 was opened as a continuation of https://github.com/rust-lang/reference/pull/639.
### Resolution of unresolved questions
The questions are resolved in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/60553#issuecomment-511235271.
