When an enum is added to a SoyContext or template the rendering fails with an exception.

Steps to reproduce in master:

1. Start portal
2. Deploy attached JAR file to Liferay (overwriting portal's provided hello soy bundle)
3. Go to http://localhost:8080/
4. Add a Hello Soy Portlet to the page

Note for 7.0.x: use files prefixed with "7.0-" and remove that prefix before deployment to avoid duplicates.

Expected results:

1. Portlet should be rendered

Actual results:

1. Portlet is not rendered and exceptions are seen in the server console

Steps to reproduce in 7.0:

1. Start portal
2. Expand soy-params-7-0.zip
3. Deploy the JAR file inside the build/lib subfolder of the expanded ZIP
4. Navigate to http://localhost:8080
5. Add a Sample Portlet to the page

Expected results:

1. Portlet should render the strings:
   Enum: VALUE
   HTML: bold

Actual results:

1. Portlet renders a Java object dump instead of bold
