Add documentation about boxing enum types and a codegen test to make

sure we pick up the underlying type, per suggestion by Fariborz.

No functionality change.

+Boxing a value of enum type will result in a <code>NSNumber</code> pointer with a creation method according to the underlying type of the enum,
+which can be a <a href="http://clang.llvm.org/docs/LanguageExtensions.html#objc_fixed_enum">fixed underlying type</a> or a compiler-defined
+integer type capable of representing the values of all the members of the enumeration:

+Color col = Red;
