pointee_info_at: fix logic for recursing into enums
Fixesrust-lang#131834
The logic in `pointee_info_at` was likely written at a time when the null pointer optimization was the *only* enum layout optimization -- and as `Variant::Multiple` kept getting expanded, nobody noticed that the logic is now unsound.
The job of this function is to figure out whether there is a dereferenceable-or-null and aligned pointer at a given offset inside a type. So when we recurse into a multi-variant enum, we better make sure that all the other enum variants must be null! This is the part that was forgotten, and this PR adds it.
The reason this didn't explode in many ways so far is that our references only have 1 niche value (null), so it's not possible on stable to have a multi-variant enum with a dereferenceable pointer and other enum variants that are not null. But with `rustc_layout_scalar_valid_range` attributes one can force such a layout, and if `@the8472's` work on alignment niches ever lands, that will make this possible on stable.
