Add truth to "CDC Real-time Forecasts" and "CDC Retrospective Forecasts" projects #285

Currently they have none. Note that categories will need to be added to the "Season onset" target. From a discussion between @nickreich and @matthewcornell on 2020-12-13:

Recall that at one time I had coded splitting that target into two: 'Season onset binary' and 'Season onset date', but you decided to revert:

I think for now, it is best to stick with season onset as 1 nominal target (not the split binary/date as I had first thought). This target would have categories that would have YYYY-MM-DD strings as the categories (every Monday during the season) plus a "none" category.

Looking at the CDC Real-time Forecasts and CDC Retrospective Forecasts zoltar projects, I see that "Season onset" is indeed a nominal target, but it doesn't look like we followed through with the categories (there are no cats for that target).
