Null exception on enum values with an empty EnumMember

[welbertwpg]

Describe the bug The serializer throws a Null Exception when serializing enums that have the EnumMember attribute without a Value being specified. Exception details:	Name	Value	Type
	Message	Object reference not set to an instance of an object.	string

To Reproduce The code below reproduces the issue:

using System.Runtime.Serialization;
using YamlDotNet.Serialization;
using YamlDotNet.Serialization.NamingConventions;

var serializer = new SerializerBuilder()
    .WithNamingConvention(CamelCaseNamingConvention.Instance)
    .Build();

var obj = new TestClass() { TestEnum = TestEnum.Value1 };
var yaml = serializer.Serialize(obj);

Console.WriteLine(yaml);

public enum TestEnum
{
    [EnumMember]
    Value1,

    [EnumMember]
    Value2
}

public class TestClass
{
    public TestEnum TestEnum { get; set; }
}

Basically, create any enum with the [EnumMember] attribute and try to serialize an object with that.

Thanks for the easy reproduction code. I'll have a fix out in a bit. If there is no name set for the EnumMember I'm planning on just using the name of the enum value.

This will go out in the next release in a couple of weeks.

This is released.
