While in general Proto enum numbers are more of arbitary wire tag numbers, sometimes the ordering is used for semantic meaning, and this allows for the enums to be used in things that require ordering eg BTreeMap.
Rust defaults to language enums _not_ being Ord with the derive(Ord) opt in, but it is largely for reasons which don't apply to protobuf enums.

The specific format is something which you could more easily copy-paste back into a test, either:
`SomeEnumName::CorrespondingNamedConstant` or
`SomeEnumName::from(someint)` for open enums with an unrecognized value.
For now this is emitting the string literals for the names in a generated match statement in .rs; this makes it work for both cpp and upb kernels, as well as hopefully reduces bloat if there is no cross-language lto.
At a future time we could consider calling into C++ to get the enum names there, which is a more optimized path and could reduce having the names in the binary twice in some cases.

This is equivalent to C++'s `_IsValid` functions. Since proto3 enums are open,
`is_known` seems to be a better name than the misleading `is_valid`.
C++-specific Protocol Buffers documentation already uses "known fields" and
"unknown enum values" expressions.
