Description
Similar to #1347, it would be good to also add support of enums in path parameters.
One additional requirement: It would be good if multiple query and/or path parameters actually reference the same enumeration, that only one enumeration is generated and is then being referenced from all places where it was defined.

Research direction
Start by reading issue #1347 and tracing how the Java generator currently handles path and query parameters. The work is done when enum-valued path parameters are supported and repeated references to the same enumeration produce one generated enumeration reused from every applicable location.
