Integers from JSON don't bind to enums

[Tragetaschen]

I have the following setup:

• A Razor <select> populated by GetEnumSelectList, so the options's values are numbers
• Some client code that creates JSON from the currently selected entry
• A controller, that parses the JSON (now the values are Int64!)
• Model binding trying to fill an enum field

This setup fails, because enum binding is only supported for Int32.

I didn't check, but a failing test looks much like this ValueProviderResult test with the 1 replaced by 1L.

@Tragetaschen Thanks for reporting this issue! Do you have a simple project you could send us that reproduces this issue so that we can investigate?

We should ideally support value provider results containing all kinds of numeric treasures.
