Allow pub access to ReprType fields#1161

The `unstable_ir` feature gives access to almost all the internals of the representation, but from outside the `cbindgen` crate there is no way to (safely) access the fields of `ReprType`. This posed a problem for writing custom exporters that needed to know how particular `Enum`s are represented in the ABI.
