require full validity when determining the discriminant of a value
This resolves (for now) the semantic question that came up in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/89764: arguably, reading the discriminant of a value is 'using' that value, so we are in our right to demand full validity. Reading a discriminant is somewhat special in that it works for values of *arbitrary* type; all the other primitive MIR operations work on specific types (e.g. `bool` or an integer) and basically implicitly require validity as part of just "doing their job".
The alternative would be to just require that the discriminant itself is valid, if any -- but then what do we do for types that do not have a discriminant, which kind of validity do we check? [This code](
