[MDSAL-753] Generate a switch expression for enum's forName()/forValue() methods

Relates — Tue, 26 Apr 2022 15:47:07 +0000

Our current codegen uses an ImmutableMap to lookup members by name and by value.
With JDK17 we can use switch expressions . This will allow us expose what we are doing directly to Java in a very concise form. We will also reduce runtime overhead, as we will no longer need the maps.
