[Halld-offline] Set "Run Type" on Run Start

[Paul Mattione]

Thanks to everyone who responded.  I’ve incorporated your feedback and have updated my “Run Purpose” scheme (since "run type" is something else) (to-be-saved-in-database values are in parentheses):

Main drop-down menu:
 - Blank (Invalid / Unknown) (-1)
 - Production (0)
 - Test (sub-menu)
 - Calibration (sub-menu)

Test drop-down menu:
 - DAQ Test (1)
 - Trigger Test (2)
 - Detector Test (3)
 - Other Test (4)

Calibration drop-down menu:
 - Cosmic Run (5)
 - Pulser Run (6)
 - Pedestal Run (7)
 - Alignment Run (8)
 - LED Run (9)
 - Other Calibration (10)

How does this look? 

 - Paul

This would be a drop-down list where users could specify whether the current run is a daq test, cosmic run, production run, etc.  This will make it much easier to sift through the data later.
