Subject: [PATCH] feat(Core/Util): AsUnderlyingType (#6117)

* Add AsUnderlyingType function to cast enum value to its underlying type (avoids repeating std::underlying_type everywhere)

(cherry picked from commit https://github.com/TrinityCore/TrinityCore/commit/fdd9227b232db9aae9bc4b2c60ca4de2cdaa0b54)
