It is cumbersome to convert between enum and string representations, because C++ standard does not provide any tools for that purpose. Currently our codebase requires writing manual conversion functions which is inefficient and inflexible. This PR introduces magic_enum (https://github.com/Neargye/magic_enum) library as a submodule, which ergonomically handles enum to string conversions without requiring any adaptations to existing enum definitions.

The PR only modifies stat related classes (stat::type and stat::detail). More conversions will be done in subsequent PRs.

Compiler compatibility for magic_enum:

Clang/LLVM >= 6
MSVC++ >= 14.11 / Visual Studio >= 2017
Xcode >= 10
GCC >= 9
MinGW >= 9

Has this been corrected for the new submodule directory?
