Description:
------------
There is no way to create instance of enum in PHP extension as function is not exported 


Test script:
---------------
    zval property___status_default_value;
    ZVAL_NULL(&property___status_default_value);
    zend_enum_new(&property___status_default_value, promise_enum,
                  zend_string_init("Resolving", sizeof("Resolving") - 1, 1), NULL);
    zend_string * property___status = zend_string_init("status", sizeof("status") - 1, 1);

Expected result:
----------------
Enum instance should be created.

Actual result:
--------------
php: symbol lookup error: /opt/php/php8/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20210902/fileio.so: undefined symbol: zend_enum_new

Please use the following APIs to work with enums in extensions:

ZEND_API zend_class_entry *zend_register_internal_enum(
	const char *name, zend_uchar type, const zend_function_entry *functions);
ZEND_API void zend_enum_add_case(zend_class_entry *ce, zend_string *case_name, zval *value);
ZEND_API void zend_enum_add_case_cstr(zend_class_entry *ce, const char *name, zval *value);
ZEND_API zend_object *zend_enum_get_case(zend_class_entry *ce, zend_string *name);
ZEND_API zend_object *zend_enum_get_case_cstr(zend_class_entry *ce, const char *name);

Additionally, you can declare enums in stubs.

The zend_enum_get_case() functions are used to create enum objects.

However, it is not possible to easily use an enum value as a property default value right now, because it would require a CONSTANT_AST default value that performs a class constant lookup.
