BARCODEJAVA-2393

Cleaned up artifacts left by the automatic .NET-to-Java porter and replaced redundant porter-specific constructs with native Java implementations.

Changes include:

Removed hash code helpers such as getHashCode() and getStateHash() and replaced their usage with the standard Java hashCode().
Normalized equals() implementations according to standard Java conventions.
Normalized toString() implementations.
Removed other redundant porter-generated constructs where native Java equivalents are available.

BARCODEJAVA-2394

Refactored ported enum-like classes to native Java enum types.

To keep numeric enum values synchronized with other Aspose.BarCode platforms, the converted enums provide:

public static EnumType fromValue(int value)

fromValue(int value) converts a numeric enum value to the corresponding Java enum constant and preserves cross-platform compatibility.

The following enums were refactored:

com.aspose.barcode.generation

AutoSizeMode, AztecEncodeMode, AztecSymbolMode, BarcodeClassifications, BarCodeImageFormat, BorderDashStyle, CodabarChecksumMode, CodabarSymbol, Code128EncodeMode, CodeLocation, DataMatrixEccType, DataMatrixEncodeMode, DataMatrixVersion, DotCodeEncodeMode, EnableChecksum, FontMode, GraphicsUnit, HanXinEncodeMode, HanXinErrorLevel, HanXinModes, HanXinVersion, ITF14BorderType, MacroCharacter, MaxiCodeEncodeMode, MaxiCodeMode, MicroQRVersion, PatchFormat, Pdf417EncodeMode, Pdf417ErrorLevel, Pdf417MacroTerminator, QREncodeMode, QRErrorLevel, QrExtCompactionMode, QRVersion, RectMicroQRVersion, ResolutionMode, SvgColorMode, TextAlignment, TwoDComponentType.

com.aspose.barcode.complexbarcode

AddressType, HIBCLICDateFormat, Mailmark2DType, QrBillStandardVersion, USADriveIdCountry, USADriveIdEyeColor, USADriveIdHairColor, USADriveIdSex.

com.aspose.barcode.barcoderecognition

BarCodeConfidence, BarcodeQualityMode, ChecksumValidation, Code128SubType, ComplexBackgroundMode, CustomerInformationInterpretingType, DeconvolutionMode, InverseImageMode, XDimensionMode.
