  I noticed that read_structure_type sets TYPE_NAME to TYPE_TAG_NAME for
some things, but not for unions.  For Rust, I think we want to do this
for all types, so this patch adds the needed code.

I think that TYPE_TAG_NAME is confusing and should probably be
removed.  I am working on a patch to do this, but in the meantime this
seemed like a reasonable change to apply.  I suspect this change would
be ok for C++ as well, but I do not know about D.

	* dwarf2read.c (read_structure_type): Set TYPE_NAME for rust
	unions.

I agree that TYPE_TAG_NAME is confusing, and I would welcome it being
removed.

The patch looks good to me, but I'd like to see if others have comments
about C++. I'm trying to remember if C++ enums might have different
rules compared to C enums, and I'm not remembering any... If there
weren't any difference, and things were OK with C enums, one might
think that we're OK for C++ enums as well...

No way to test this either?

I am not sure.  However, my TYPE_TAG_NAME deletion patch is ready now
(I'll send it momentarily), so I think we can just drop this one,
because that patch obsoletes it.
