genksyms: Track changes to enum constants

Enum constants can be used as array sizes; if the enum itself does not
appear in the symbol expansion, a change in the enum constant will go
unnoticed. Example patch that changes the ABI but does not change the
checksum with current genksyms:

| enum e {
|	E1,
|	E2,
|+	E3,
|	E_MAX
| };
|
| struct s {
|	int a[E_MAX];
| }
|
| int f(struct s *s) { ... }
| EXPORT_SYMBOL(f)

Therefore, remember the value of each enum constant and
expand each occurence to <constant> <value>. The value is not actually
computed, but instead an expression in the form
(last explicitly assigned value) + N
is used. This avoids having to parse and semantically understand whole
of C.

Note: The changes won't take effect until the lexer and parser are
rebuilt by the next patch.
