[3.0.x] Fixed #30902 -- Added __str__() for model choice enums.

Allows expected behavior when cast to str, also matching behaviour of
created instances with those fetched from the DB.

Thanks to Simon Charette, Nick Pope, and Shai Berger for reviews.

Backport of dbcd7b064e7278614f29fc45468d461e263d4da7 from master
