JSON_BuildTests fail when JSON_DisableEnumSerialization is set to ON

Description

Setting JSON_DisableEnumSerialization to ON when building JSON for Modern C++ with testing enabled (JSON_BuildTests set also set to ON), the tests do not build and the build fails. Tests that rely on that setting should not be built for library clients who do not want EnumSerialization and the build should succeed.

Reproduction steps

From a fresh clone of nlohmann/json, I ran the following commands to configure and build the library using CMake:

/usr/bin/cmake -DJSON_DisableEnumSerialization=ON -DJSON_BuildTests=On -DJSON_Install=ON -DJSON_SystemInclude=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/workspaces/json/install/gcc12-release -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=true -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER:FILEPATH=/usr/bin/g++-12 -S/workspaces/json -B/workspaces/json/build/gcc12-release -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Release -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER:FILEPATH=/usr/bin/gcc-12 -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER:FILEPATH=/usr/bin/g++-12 -DCMAKE_CXX_STANDARD:STRING=20 -DCMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED:BOOL=ON -DCMAKE_CXX_EXTENSIONS:BOOL=OFF -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_INIT:STRING='-fPIC -O3 -mavx2 -mavx'
/usr/bin/cmake --build /workspaces/json/build/gcc12-release --parallel 17 --target all

Expected vs. actual results

I expect successful building and linking of all executable tests with no errors or warnings. In practice, the compiler produces errors and warnings as detailed below in the Error messages field in this form.

Minimal code example

N/A - just building the tests of the library
