allow for u8 to be used as hold/freeze reason (paritytech#5348)

..without needing to provide your own `newtype` around it.  

This will allow `type Reason = u8` to be used as `FreezeReason` and
`HoldReason`, which I think is a nice simplification if one doens't want
to deal with the complications.

At the same time, it is a bit of an anti-pattern.

Putting it out there to check people's vibes.
