[BUG] [python-nextgen] (De)serialization of enums fails due to missing conversion methods

Description

The python-nextgen generator assumes the existence of (from|to)_(dict|json) methods on generated enums, which causes enum (de)serialization to fail with an exception.

Affected:

• singular allOf: The parent expects (from|to)_dict from the enum.
• anyOf, oneOf, plural allOf: The composite model expects (from|to)_(dict|json) from the wrapped enum(s).

Impact:

• That is how DRF Spectacular generates enums, for example.

Steps to reproduce

Assuming the import problem described in #14523 is fixed:

>>> from openapi_client import Parent, Number
>>> Parent.from_dict(dict(number="one"))
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "openapi_client/models/parent.py", line 73, in from_dict
    "number": Number.from_dict(obj.get("number")) if obj.get("number") is not None else None
AttributeError: type object 'Number' has no attribute 'from_dict'
>>> Parent(number=Number.ONE).to_dict()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "openapi_client/models/parent.py", line 60, in to_dict
    _dict['number'] = self.number.to_dict()
AttributeError: 'Number' object has no attribute 'to_dict'

Suggest a fix

Manually replacing the from_dict call with an enum value lookup (by calling the enum class directly) and removing the block that calls to_dict on the enum from parent.py fixes (de)serialization for singular allOf:

>>> from openapi_client import Parent, Number
>>> Parent.from_dict(dict(number="one"))
Parent(number=<Number.ONE: 'one'>)
>>> Parent(number=Number.ONE).to_dict()
{'number': <Number.ONE: 'one'>}

This must be automated.

The fix for composite models seems more involved (e.g., checking for existence of the required methods on the wrapped value).

Alternatively, the enums could feature trivial implementations of the required methods.

Generate the provided openapi-schema.yaml with the python-nextgen command and inspect the generated parent.py and Number enum model. Reproduce from_dict and to_dict for singular allOf, then cover anyOf, oneOf, and plural allOf; done means enum serialization works without missing-method exceptions.
