Report MultiLevelSwitchCC event type as a string instead of as a number
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In the course of identifying various issues with the new MultiLevelSwitchCC event feature, I've found it a bit hard to interpret the event_type field associated with these messages. I had to dig through the zwave-js source code to find the correct values (though I could have looked at the Zwave spec).
Describe the solution you'd like
Instead of reporting event_type as a number, consider using a string: such as start (event type 4) and stop (event type 5).
Describe alternatives you've considered
Instead of changing the field type, you could add a new field alongside it to avoid breaking changes. That said, since this is a new feature that's still being shaken out, there may not be many clients affected by such a change.
Keeping the enum values lets us stay in sync with the specification and opens up an easier possibility for future extension. IMO this is mainly a documentation issue - the relevant (auto-generated) documentation should mention all this.
I believe this is solved with https://github.com/zwave-js/node-zwave-js/pull/4652/files
