Description
Json-b presently does not appear to recognize or honor `@JsonbProperty` annotation when applied to enumerated types. We suggest adding an annotation type that implements the same logic as `@XmlEnumValue`
Without this function a custom type adapter is required for all enumerated types with non-Java characters (e.g. '-') in their names. For example, the first entry in the following enum requires a dash instead of underscore. @JsonbProperty is presently not picked up or recognized.
```java
public enum foo {
@JsonbEnumValue("A256CBC-HS512")
A256CBC_HS512,
A128GCM;
}
Thanks!

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing JsonbProperty annotation behavior and the referenced XmlEnumValue API. Define the proposed JsonbEnumValue annotation and confirm how it should map enum constants containing characters such as hyphens; done means the API expresses this mapping consistently and its behavior is covered by tests.
