Serializing enums explicitly references types unless nullable (issue … (

#1146)

Before this change, serializing non-nullable enums in a subtype was incorrectly producing nullable string types.

For example, serializing a class member of type Map<enum, String> produced a type Map<String?, dynamic> where Map<String, dynamic> should have been produced.

Nullable enums should still produce nullable types, eg. serializing List<enum?> should produce List<String?>
