Derives that validate enum tags copy explicit discriminants into a helper
enum. Context-dependent expressions can evaluate differently in that helper,
allowing the generated validator to accept an invalid original-enum tag.

Restrict copied discriminants to a compiler-defined, repeatable grammar of
integer and byte literals with primitive arithmetic and bitwise operations.
Reject paths, macros, calls, casts, attributes, and other context-bearing
forms before emitting any unsafe impl. Preserve the skip-on-error dependency
chain for exhaustive enums, including fieldful variants whose zero tag cannot
be identified syntactically, and add cross-toolchain regressions.

Closes #3619

P1 Badge Add restrictions to the composite-derive docs

When users apply #[derive(FromZeros)] to a non-exhaustive enum such as one with A = 0, B = CONST, or #[derive(FromBytes)] to a fieldful exhaustive enum, those entry points call derive_try_from_bytes and now reject the constant-path discriminant. However, their own Analysis sections still present representation, zero-tag, and field bounds as the complete requirements, so users consulting derive.FromZeros or derive.FromBytes will not discover this new limitation. Add the conditional discriminant grammar, including the fieldless full-domain exception, to both composite-derive sections.
