"This operation is not permitted on this campaign type" when trying to set bidding strategy on a smart campaign

[Bevan Wentzel]

When I try to set the bidding strategy on a smart campaign:
```
    campaign.bidding_strategy_type = (
        client.enums.BiddingStrategyTypeEnum[MANUAL_CPC]
    )
    campaign.manual_cpc.enhanced_cpc_enabled = True
```
I get an error "This operation is not permitted on this campaign type... On field: campaign_bidding_strategy"

When I create the campaign without setting a bidding strategy on the smart campaign, the bid strategy type shows as "Invalid" and the status as "bid strategy misconfigured"

Any ideas?
