This also uses enum.EnumType for Python 3.11+ as Python 3.11 renamed
EnumMeta to EnumType. While the former is still available as an alias
of the latter for now, let's prefer the canonical name for this.

* assertIsNone()/assertIsNotNone() instead of comparing to None.
* assertLess() for < comparisons.
* assertIs() for 'is' expressions.
* assertIsInstance() for isinstance() expressions.
* rounding of assertAlmostEqual() for round() expressions.
* assertIs(..., True/False) instead of comparing to True/False.
* assertIs()/assertIsNot() for ==/!= comparisons.
* assertNotEqual() for == comparisons.
* assertTrue()/assertFalse() instead of comparing to True/False.
Allows expected behavior when cast to str, also matching behaviour of
created instances with those fetched from the DB.
Thanks to Simon Charette, Nick Pope, and Shai Berger for reviews.
These classes can serve as a base class for user enums, supporting
translatable human-readable names, or names automatically inferred
from the enum member name.
Additional properties make it easy to access the list of names, values
and display labels.
