thrift: clean up enum value assignment Summary: Clean up how enum values are handled if an integer value is not explicitly specified in the thrift file. For example, the following used to be a compile error, but works now: enum MyEnum { SOMEVALUE } struct MyStruct { 1: MyEnum e = SOMEVALUE } This change also cleans up some of the error handling with out-of-range values. Previously thrift simply issued a warning for enum values that didn't fit in an i32, but serialized them as i32 anyway. Now out-of-range enum values result in a compile failure. Test Plan: Included a new unit test to verify the assignment of enum values. I also verified that g++ makes the same enum value assignments when compiling these enums as C++ code.
