Fixes #563
Since each bitflags value is stored in its own symbol, their order in the final executable is up to rustc/LLVM, or even the linker. This causes unreliable output that depends on toolchain details.
This PR fixes that by storing an index in the symbol for bitflags values, which indicates their order in the source code. The decoder sorts by this index to put the values back in definition order. We now exactly match the output of the
bitflags
crate.
