Enum members whose value duplicates an earlier member now reference it
(Item2B = Item2A), [Flags] members combine earlier single-bit members
(All = Item1 | Item2 | Item3) or their complement (NotItem1 = ~Item1)
instead of showing a bare number.
Several guardrails keep the output faithful to how such enums are
written by hand: only previously declared members are referenced (field
row order); a multi-bit value lying entirely within a larger, earlier
member is a field encoding inside that mask, not a flag union, and
stays numeric, as do zero-valued members of [Flags] enums, which
routinely have several unrelated zero members. The ~X form is
suppressed in byte/ushort enum declarations, where the initializer
constant folds in int and would not compile. Enums with unusual
underlying types (bool, native int) keep the plain constant conversion.
With these rules, decompiling System.Private.CoreLib reproduces the
hand-written declarations of TypeAttributes, MethodAttributes,
AttributeTargets and FileAttributes almost verbatim.

Backfills the standard MIT X11 header on hand-written files that never
got one, attributing each to its first-commit author and year from git
history. Code vendored from dotnet/runtime and Humanizr/Humanizer gets
its origin's license lines and a provenance note instead. Generated
files (Resources.Designer.cs, the version-info template), tool-managed
suppression files, and BAML test-case fixtures intentionally stay
header-less.

DecodeArrayInitializer - Instead of relying on the Add method of a list to expand the underlying array when necessary, the code now allocates a big enough array to fit all the elements removing the need for the Add method to expand the array several times.
BlockFromInitializer now reuses a single instance of List<ILInstruction> instead of reallocating a new one every time and clears it when necessary. The same pre-allocation approach mentioned above has been implemented here too.
