Use underlying type for enums in is_signed/is_unsigned.

With clang >= 21, using is_signed/is_unsigned with "small" enums
(having an underlying type smaller than an int) results in strong error,
after being reported as warnings for years (see #171).

Since boost::is_signed/is_unsigned differs explicitly from the std one,
and can return "true" for enums (contrary to the std one), keep this
boost behavior and implement a special check for enums.

This allows in particular boost::lexical_cast to keep working when
converting non-scoped enums from int to strings with clang >= 21,
see boostorg/lexical_cast#87).
