[DAS2] 'source' attribute in the types document

Types have a 'source' field.

The first draft shows examples like
   source='curated'
   source='genescan'
   source='tRNAscan-SE-1.11'

My interpretation is that this is a human readable field,
with no machine interpretation other than as a string.  It
does not come from a controlled vocabulary.  It may contain
spaces.

This field is not currently searchable because we expect the
number of types to be small enough a client will download
everything and do the search locally.

Let me know if I'm wrong.
