I don't think that is true cause I see examples of enum setter/getters
that translate to strings in libvirt xml. e.g GVirConfigDomainOsType,
GVirConfigDomainOsSmBiosMode and GVirConfigDomainOsBootDevice.

If we go with string option, I suggest we provide #defines for known
values and document here that these can be used. Which in the end is
not very diff from using enums from app POV.
