[Crop Cycle] Discuss the use of the "Cycle Type" field

[Alchez]

Problem statement

There's no clear consensus on the use of the "Cycle Type" field for individual crop plantings. We'll need to discuss this more.

Challenges

Possible solution to Problem

• Have it mirror the "Type" field in the Crop doctype and keep it read-only.
• Maybe remove it entirely and only have that data in the Crop doctype.

Reference screenshots / mockups (if any)

Checklist :

• [ ] Finalized on solution (out of several)
• [ ] Finalized on solution implementation (of one)
• [ ] Implemented solution (as code)
• [ ] Made PR (link to PR here please)

Cycle type, form what I recall, referred to Annual, Biennial, etc. It helps establish out of the gate whether this crop will be treated as a "harvest once only and dump" or a "harvest several times, and then dump". In agriculture we deal with these events: Planting or Px: Date of planting the seeds. Transplant or Tx: Date of transplanting the growing plants at any stage. A plant can have "N" number of transplants. Harvest or Cx (Cut): Date of cutting. A plant can have several Cuts per crop cycle. Dump or Dx: Date of Dumping. This is the day that you will eliminate the crop completely. It is a special type of harvest in that output could theoretically be generated, but it is the last one for that Crop Cycle.
