gh-118820: Zero-valued flag enum has no name (GH-118848)
(cherry picked from commit ed5ae6c4d7)

When overriding the `__new__` method of an enum, the underlying data type should be created directly; i.e. .
member = object.__new__(cls)
member = int.__new__(cls, value)
member = str.__new__(cls, value)
Calling `super().__new__()` finds the lookup version of `Enum.__new__`, and will now raise an exception when detected.
For example:
class Book(StrEnum):
title = auto()
author = auto()
desc = auto()
Book.author.desc is Book.desc
but
Book.author.title() == 'Author'
is commonly expected. Using upper-case member names avoids this confusion and possible performance impacts.

Undo rejected PEP-663 changes:
- restore `repr()` to its 3.10 status
- restore `str()` to its 3.10 status
New changes:
- `IntEnum` and `IntFlag` now leave `__str__` as the original `int.__str__` so that str() and format() return the same result
- zero-valued flags without a name have a slightly changed repr(), e.g. `repr(Color(0)) == '<Color: 0>'`
- update `dir()` for mixed-in types to return all the methods and attributes of the mixed-in type
- added `_numeric_repr_` to `Flag` to control display of unnamed values
- enums without doc strings have a more comprehensive doc string added
- `ReprEnum` added -- inheriting from this makes it so only `__repr__` is replaced, not `__str__` nor `__format__`; `IntEnum`, `IntFlag`, and `StrEnum` all inherit from `ReprEnum`
Modify the ``EnumType.__dir__()`` and ``Enum.__dir__()`` to ensure
that user-defined methods and methods inherited from mixin classes always
show up in the output of `help()`. This change also makes it easier for
IDEs to provide auto-completion.
* Enum: streamline repr() and str(); improve docs
- repr() is now ``enum_class.member_name``
- stdlib global enums are ``module_name.member_name``
- str() is now ``member_name``
- add HOW-TO section for ``Enum``
- change main documentation to be an API reference
