Implement support for Enum type specific "fallback defaults" that can be used to support schema evolution. If a reader does not recognize the enum value in the avro message, it will fallback to the enum default. This is not to be mistaken with the default value that can be specified for fields. See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1340 and https://avro.apache.org/docs/current/spec.html#Enums for more details.
