fix(kotlin-client): use enum value in query (#18236)

[Tooa]

This commit fixes an issue where enums are used as a value in either path or query params due to relying on string casting. With this change, enum values are requested by using .value instead.

I also used kotlin string interpolation to address one of the AI review feedback comments. The change is in line with the multiplatform implementation.

Scope: This MR just fixes issues with scalar enums.

Related to #18236.

PR checklist

• Read the contribution guidelines.
• Pull Request title clearly describes the work in the pull request and Pull Request description provides details about how to validate the work. Missing information here may result in delayed response from the community.
• Run the following to build the project and update samples:

  ./mvnw clean package || exit
  ./bin/generate-samples.sh ./bin/configs/*.yaml || exit
  ./bin/utils/export_docs_generators.sh || exit
  

  (For Windows users, please run the script in WSL)
  Commit all changed files.
  This is important, as CI jobs will verify all generator outputs of your HEAD commit as it would merge with master.
  These must match the expectations made by your contribution.
  You may regenerate an individual generator by passing the relevant config(s) as an argument to the script, for example ./bin/generate-samples.sh bin/configs/java*.
  IMPORTANT: Do NOT purge/delete any folders/files (e.g. tests) when regenerating the samples as manually written tests may be removed.
• File the PR against the correct branch: master (upcoming 7.x.0 minor release - breaking changes with fallbacks), 8.0.x (breaking changes without fallbacks)
• If your PR solves a reported issue, reference it using GitHub's linking syntax (e.g., having "fixes #123" present in the PR description)
• If your PR is targeting a particular programming language, @mention the technical committee members, so they are more likely to review the pull request.

Summary by cubic

Fix Kotlin client query parameter handling to use enum.value and Kotlin string interpolation in jvm-spring-restclient and jvm-spring-webclient templates. Also fixes a broken string interpolation case and regenerates Kotlin samples (echo and petstore) to ensure correct URL serialization and prevent invalid requests.

^{Written for commit 126ac09. Summary will update on new commits.}
