Increase size of main_type::nfields
main_type::nfields is a 'short', and has been for many years. PR c++/29985 points out that 'short' is too narrow for an enum that contains more than 2^15 constants. This patch bumps the size of 'nfields'. To verify that the field isn't directly used, it is also renamed. Note that this does not affect the size of main_type on x86-64 Fedora 36. And, if it does have a negative effect somewhere, it's worth considering that types could be shrunk more drastically by using subclasses for the different codes. This is v2 of this patch, which has these changes: * I changed nfields to 'unsigned', per Simon's request. I looked at changing all the uses, but this quickly fans out into a very large patch. (One additional tweak was needed, though.) * I wrote a test case. I discovered that GCC cannot compile a large enough C test case, so I resorted to using the DWARF assembler. This test doesn't reproduce the crash, but it does fail without the patch. Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29985
