          Issue ID: 24201
           Summary: ImportC: enum in .di file should have members
                    un-namespaced.

If you have a C file like:

// enum.c
enum Foo {
    FOO_0,
    FOO_1,
    FOO_2,
};

which you convert to a .di file, it will contain (macro enums removed for
brevity):

extern (C)
{
        enum Foo
        {
                FOO_0,
                FOO_1,
                FOO_2,
        }
}

Which is an incorrect translation. The imported C file will allow you to access
the members of Foo without name spacing, like `FOO_0`, while the .di file will
require you to write `Foo.FOO_0`. The enum members should be aliased into the
module scope so that both imports function the same way. That is important as
you might generate a .di file so your editor auto-complete works, but you want
to compile with the actual .c file in case the code you are compiling against
changes.
