If the archived heap objects references one of the Enum constants created at dump time, we will violate the uniqueness requirements of the Enum constants at runtime. See the test case in the description of [JDK-8275731](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8275731)

Instead, we run `HeapShared::initialize_enum_klass()` to retrieve all the constants of X that were saved at dump time.

There are some manual steps involved, but I analyzed the potential problems found by the tool are they are all safe (after the current bug is fixed). See cdsHeapVerifier.cpp for gory details. An example trace of this tool can be found at https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/secure/attachment/97242/enum_warning.txt
