[issue17961] Use enum names as values in enum.Enum convenience API

[Ethan Furman]

Ethan Furman added the comment:

In flufl.enum integers also made since as that was the default back-end data type.

Currently, the functional method allows a type declaration.  The behavior there could be tweaked such that no specification meant no value (a truly valueless enum!), type=int means ints starting from 1, type=str meant str values of names, any other value and you better had made your own enum derived class to support it.
