Revise academic degrees, create ontology #706

Currently VIVO has a list of academic degrees as a controlled vocabulary. Need to add to it from the experience of the VIVO community.

Degrees should be classes. Degrees people got should be individuals.

Also need to consider a higher level ontology of degrees so that we might be able to characterize degrees as "undergraduate", "graduate" "professional"

The topic of the degree might be of interest -- STEM, humanities, etc.

This is https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/VIVO-1360 in VIVO Jira

Impact high. Highly affects modelling and legacy data, maybe even the templates.
