Generate reflection code for GML enums

Check out this article for why you might want to do this: https://synthasmagoria.github.io/error_handling_in_gm/

The program generates a few functions that make it possible to retreive the names of enums and enum members. To tell the program to generate reflection for a specific enum add gml_pragma("enum_reflection") on the line before.

enum Enum { CoolError, _Count }
global._ENUM_NAMES = [ "CoolError", ];
global._ENUM_MEMBER_NAMES = [
    ["Bad", "Bad2", "Bad3"],
];
function enum_get_name(index) {
    return global._ENUM_NAMES[index];
} 
function enum_get_member_name(index, member) {
    return global._ENUM_MEMBER_NAMES[index][member];
}
function enum_get_member_names(index) {
    return global._ENUM_MEMBER_NAMES[index];
}
function enum_get_member_name_full(index, member) {
    return $"{global._ENUM_NAMES[index]}.{global._ENUM_MEMBER_NAMES[index][member]}";
