#31154: Enumeration Types not usable in templates

The new [enumeration
types](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/ref/models/fields
/#enumeration-types) are great but can't be used in Django templates due
to their being callable. For example this doesn't work:
{{{
{% if student.year_in_school == YearInSchool.FRESHMAN %}
}}}
This is because YearInSchool, being a class, is callable, and Django
Templates always call callables with no arguments. The call fails because
the required `value` argument is missing.
The easy solution would be to declare `do_not_call_in_templates = True` on
the various Choices classes.
