When calculating Smithy diffs, enum value insertions should be flagged as errors because they can cause backwards incompatibility concerns when enum ordinals are used for iterating, serialization, etc. Enum values appended to the end of the existing set of values should not be errors.

Throughout this PR, can we be more specific about what inserted means? We mean that an enum value was added but not at the end of the list of enum values. I think clarifying with this little tweak will save countless hours of teams not understanding the error.
