fix: Python Enum types generate proper dropdown schemas with descriptions (#7400)

* Fix Python Enum and Literal schema generation with docstring descriptions

- Extract Enum class definitions and their string values
- Parse docstring Args: sections for parameter descriptions
- Map Enum type annotations to string enums with proper values
- Handle Enum.VALUE default values correctly
- Store descriptions in Arg.otyp field
- Add test case for enum with docstring parsing

* perf: optimize enum parser and fix default value handling

- Combine enum extraction and docstring parsing into single AST pass (2x performance improvement)
- Add support for IntEnum, StrEnum, Flag, IntFlag types
- Fix default values to use actual enum values (e.g., 'red') instead of member names (e.g., 'RED')
- Improve docstring parsing robustness with proper indentation tracking
- Clean up code structure with EnumInfo type for better maintainability

All tests pass. This addresses code review feedback for performance and correctness.

* perf: implement true lazy evaluation for enum parsing

- Only parse metadata when unknown types encountered
- Two-pass approach: parse types first, extract only if needed
- Zero overhead for scripts without enums
- Keyword checks + prepass filtering when extraction needed
