Value of enumtype members should not be converted from string to int when parsing #30

In metadata.py, _parse_enumtype() will go through all members of an enumtype_element and append the name/value pairs to enum['members']. It will convert all string values to int, which causes problems later-on in get_entity_sets() when EnumType is called.

Feel free to correct me on this, but in trying to parse a large OData interface I've come across this issue and it made me wonder why the conversion is taking place in the first case. I've removed the conversion in my local copy for now.

@rroos80 Can you explain this more or include an example EnumType from the OData interface that was having problems with the conversion?

According to the OData 4 spec, it looks like all EnumTypes have numeric values.
