Separate Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend payments from other miscellaneous income in the PUF #85

The IRS requires filers to enter Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend payments on line 8g of the 1040, part of line 8's other income section.

Currently, this is probably in the PUF's E01200 variable:

We need to separate it out, as we calculate PFD payments directly from the rules.

Deconstructing miscellaneous income into the various line 8 subsections would help in this.
