SAM: add definition annotations #720

Add definitions to vectorbase variables, as appropriate.

For example, "Sample type" needs a definition

according to @bobular a surveillance sample is a sample that has been collected in an unbiased manner and will also have the unbiased specimen count variable not-null. So a mail-in citizen science sample can't be "surveillance".

Most insecticide resistance studies just need pools of 50 or 100 of species X and species Y - this is another example of a "biased" sample.
