Enums in child types not recognized in TPH mapping

[prodibaugh]

Enum properties in subclasses are not recognized when TPH mapping is utilized. This seems to be due to the fact that the FindSchemaMappingFragment in MetadataHander returns null when a child entity type is encountered. I will change to TPT mapping strategy as a workaround.

public abstract class Furniture
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public Pattern Pattern { get; set; }
}

public class Bed : Furniture
{
    public MattressType Mattress { get; set; }
}

[Flags]
public enum MattressType
{
    Soft = 1,
    Firm = 2
}

[Test]
    public void FindsReferences_InChildEntityType_TPHMappingStrategy()
    {
        IList<EnumReference> references;
        using (var context = new MagicContext())
        {
            references = _enumToLookup.FindEnumReferences(context);
        }
        var mattress = references.Count(r => r.EnumType == typeof(MattressType));
        Assert.AreEqual(1, mattress, "Wrong number of Mattress refs found");
    }

I haven't looked into it, couldn't say.
