`EmptyLineSeparator`: false negative in Enum and interface fields
I have read check documentation: https://checkstyle.org/config_whitespace.html#EmptyLineSeparator
I have downloaded the latest checkstyle from: https://checkstyle.org/cmdline.html#Download_and_Run
I have executed the cli and showed it below, as cli describes the problem better than 1,000 words

```bash
/var/tmp $ javac SomeEnum.java

/var/tmp $ cat config.xml

    private final String someString;

    SomeEnum(String someString) {
        this.someString = someString;
    }

    public String getSomeString() {
        return someString;
    }
}

/var/tmp $ java $RUN_LOCALE -jar checkstyle-9.2.1-all.jar -c config.xml SomeEnum.java
Checkstyle ends without errors.
```

---

Checkstyle ends without errors, but I expect violation to be found since there are more than 1 empty lines between enum constant `TWO` and field `someString`.


I could reproduce the issue, will fix it soon.
