Add support for Enums in Voters #61235

Description

I think Enums should be supported better in voters. This idea comes from a project I am working on. Below is a description of my current situation, and why I feel the need for Enum support.

Right now I have a Feature enum used as:
$security->isGranted(Feature::MyFeature->name)

I decided to improve the DX and make it work as:
$this->security->isGranted(Feature::MyFeature)
Since I kept forgetting to add the ->name at the end.

The issue is in the controllers where I’m using the #[IsGranted()]
#[IsGranted(Feature::MyFeature->name)] works fine, but #[IsGranted(Feature::MyFeature)] won’t work because of type mismatch. And since Enums in php can’t extend I don’t have the option to extend Expression, nor does it make much sense to do so anyway.

So now I have to support Feature|string in my voter and handle the string case with a Feature::fromName() method, just because of the attribute.

At a glance adding support for Enums in the attribute seems like a good idea.
I think the only missing piece for this to work 100% is a typehint in the IsGranted attribute, but I might be missing something.

Please advise.
