Arrays of Enumerations without a value for 0 are no longer valid (#8836)

* arrays of enums with no value for 0 now throw errors

* move setting key field outside struct check

* set to default instead of required

* unsure of why these bfbs files have changed at this time, checking them in to run the pipelines.

* remove known bad test
