Description Olivier Thomann

Using latest, the compiler doesn't complain when super(); is used in an enum
constructor.
Test case:
public enum X {
	;
	X() {
		super();
	}
}

javac reports:
X.java:4: call to super not allowed in enum constructor
                super();
                ^
1 error

Modify the error message to:
Explicit constructor call is not allowed in an enum constructor

instead of:
Explicit constructor call is not allowed in enum constructor

I forgot to test if the explicit constructor call was an implicit super. It is
ok, if this is an implicit super.

Integrated proposed patch (and renamed a few things).
Added extra regression test: EnumTest#test051.
