pad_size_to on a struct should be able to reference import, temp variables, and generated fields.

Added StructGenerator::wrap_pad_size and smaller BinWrite implementation

3 new unit tests that check reading, one for write

I tried to update this PR to include enum but don’t have the bandwidth. It is confusing only to apply this to struct when enum is the same thing. Any chance you can make this change?

Other feedback based on my trying to include enum: Being able to use a field from inside a struct to define the struct size is convenient for formats where the object size is stored that way, but also somewhat problematic because it violates some notion of scoping rules. As a result, code has to be emitted from a place where the field variables are available and can’t be done just once somewhere closer to generate.

Any update on this? This functionality would be very useful in making the definitions a lot clearer.

A volunteer is needed to handle the enum case.
