tests: update for accepted language change
Unions with no fields are now "uninstantiable" types, which work like
`noreturn` in that values of this type cannot exist. Enums with no
fields are different because they are currently considered `extern`
types, though https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/19855 will change
this in the future.
