[Form] EnumType: Use the enums value as default label (instead of name) #44596

Description

Right now, EnumType uses the enum's name as default <label> for the <input>, see https://github.com/symfony/symfony/blob/6.1/src/Symfony/Component/Form/Extension/Core/Type/EnumType.php#L34

But since PHP only allows a very limited set of characters for enum names (ASCII, no blanks, etc.), it might be better to use the enum's value by default?

This would be a BC break. If that's not worth it, then maybe a boolean option, e.g. value_as_label?

I know it can be overridden with choice_label (even though that's not documented - see symfony/symfony-docs#16179 (comment)), but since I think this will be a common need in the future, it might be better to offer an easier way.
