Preserve scoped enum underlying signedness

The C-generating back end now uses the underlying integer type for scoped
enumerations. Scoped enumeration bit fields retain their fixed underlying
signedness.

Make the type assertions valid in the strict case.

The --strict option set runs as a separate case and does not enable GNU or Clang mode. Because gpp_version_is requires gpp_mode, the front end does not register __is_same for this case. The assertions can therefore fail to compile before the runtime checks execute. Restrict these assertions to the GNU case or use a strict-mode-compatible check. The registration is in src/fe_init.c, not src/cmd_line.c.

Review comment at @tests/tests/regressions/edg-28934.sft.cpp around lines 10 -
11:
Update the static assertions using __is_same in the regression test so they
compile in the strict case: guard them for GNU mode or replace them with a
strict-mode-compatible type check. Preserve the existing runtime checks and the
assertions’ coverage of Signed and Empty underlying types.
