[CodeCompletion] Explicitly support enum pattern matching
Pattern matching in Swift can either be expression pattern matching by comparing two instances using the `~=` operator or using enum matching by matching the enum case and its associated types (+ tuple pattern matching, but that’s not relevant here). We currenlty only consider the expression pattern matching case for code completion. To provide enum pattern matching results, we thus need to have a `~=` operator between the code completion token and the match expression
For example, when we are completing
```swift
enum MyEnum {
case myCase(String)
}
switch x {
case .#^COMPLETE^#
}
```
then we are looking up all overloads of `~=` and try to match it to the call arguments `(<Code Completion Type>, MyEnum)`.
The way we currently get `#^COMPLETE^#` to offer members of `MyEnum`, is that we are trying to make sure that the `~=<T: Equatable>(T, T)` operator defined in the standard library is the best solution even though it has fixes associated with it. For that we need to carefully make sure to ignore other, more favourable overloads of `~=` in `filterSolutions` so that `~=<T: Equatable>(T, T)` has the best score.
This poses several problems:
- If the user defines a custom overload of `~=` that we don't prune when filtering solutions (e.g. `func ~=(pattern: OtherType, value: MyEnum) -> Bool`), it gets a better score than `~=<T: Equatable>(T, T)` and thus we only offer members of `OtherType` instead of members from `MyEnum`
- We are also suggesting static members of `MyEnum`, even though we can't pattern match them due to the lack of the `~=` operator.
If we detect that the completion expression is in a pattern matching position, also suggests all enum members of the matched type. This allows us to remove the hack which deliberately ignores certain overloads of `~=` since we no longer rely on `~=<T: Equatable>(T, T)`. It thus provides correct results in both of the above cases.
