Serialize enum (#5151)

* Added NLOHNMANN_JSON_SERIALIZE_ENUM_STRICT
- duplicate of NLOHMANN_JSON_SERIALIZE_ENUM

Signed-off-by: Caillin Nugent <caillinn@student.unimelb.edu.au>

* Added failing tests for NLOHMANN_JSON_SERIALIZE_ENUM_STRICT

Signed-off-by: Caillin Nugent <caillinn@student.unimelb.edu.au>

* modified NLOHMANN_JSON_SERIALIZE_STRICT to throw

Signed-off-by: Caillin Nugent <caillinn@student.unimelb.edu.au>

* added documentation and changed readme to include NLOHMANN_JSON_SERIALIZE_ENUM_STRICT

Signed-off-by: Caillin Nugent <caillinn@student.unimelb.edu.au>

* ran amalgamate

Signed-off-by: Caillin Nugent <caillinn@student.unimelb.edu.au>

* docs(macros): add page for JSON_SERIALIZE_ENUM_STRICT
- added page to nav
- added links to new page where appropriate

Signed-off-by: Caillin Nugent <caillinn@student.unimelb.edu.au>

* refactor(macros): make JSON_SERIALIZE_ENUM_STRICT use JSON_THROW
- added templated wrapper function to fix scope error in calling JSON_THROW

Signed-off-by: Caillin Nugent <caillinn@student.unimelb.edu.au>

* refactor(macros): make NLOHMANN_SERIALIZE_ENUM_STRICT use error code 410
- added error code 410 to docs

Signed-off-by: Caillin Nugent <caillinn@student.unimelb.edu.au>

* tests(macros): add test for to_json with enum value not mentioned
	       in mapping for NLOHMANN_JSON_SERIALIZE_ENUM_STRICT

Signed-off-by: Caillin Nugent <caillinn@student.unimelb.edu.au>

* Apply suggestions from code review

* fix(macro): prevent compilation error with -Werror and -Wunused-parameter
            with NLOHMANN_JSON_SERIALIZE_ENUM_STRICT
- casted exception to void to avoid warning

Signed-off-by: Caillin Nugent <caillinn@student.unimelb.edu.au>

* fix(docs): add link to NLOHMANN_SERIALIZE_ENUM_STRICT docs to exception page

Signed-off-by: Caillin Nugent <caillinn@student.unimelb.edu.au>

* docs(macros): add example of exception throwing for NLOHMANN_JSON_SERIALIZE_ENUM_STRICT

Signed-off-by: Caillin Nugent <caillinn@student.unimelb.edu.au>

* refactor(macros): add more in-depth error message to NLOHMANN_JSON_SERIALIZE_ENUM_STRICT
- changed error message to follow style of nlohmann/json#4989
- made description of throw wrapper more general
- updated tests and example of exceptions
