utils: allow conversion from string to dbus enum

Enhance the variant visitor to leverage functionality in sdbusplus
that allows conversion of strings to enums (or variants containing
enums).  This will allow a seem-less transition for Inventory
properties which are defined as string and then transition to
enumerations, such as that introduced by [1].

Tested: Booted Witherspoon in QEMU with [1] and [2].  Confirmed PIM
no longer coredumps and successfully converts the string to an
enumeration.
