Add ex 35,36 enums; updated README
I'm changing the order of some more topics. Trying to explain the value of pointers when we're mostly dealing with stack-sized values like integers feels convoluted. So I'm starting with enums (which also has a nice segue from an earlier "switch" exercise). Then structs. Then unions (just in keeping with the order of these items on ziglearn.org) and THEN pointers and multi-pointers and slices.

## Intended Audience
|

|

This will probably be quite difficult if you've _never_ programmed before.
|
||||
However, no specific programming experience is required. And in particular,

you are _not_ expected to know C or other "systems programming" language.

Each exercise is self-contained and self-explained. However, you're encouraged

to also check out these Zig language resources for more detail:
