dolthub/dolt#9426 - Support enum string context in functions

Fixed enum values to return their string representation instead of numeric index
when used in string contexts like LENGTH() and CONCAT() functions.

Changes:
- Modified ConvertToCollatedString in sql/types/strings.go to handle enum types
- Updated CONCAT function to use type-aware string conversion
- Enabled and fixed "enum conversion to strings" test
