Consider using an enum column for data_object.workflow_type

[naglepuff]

The data_object model's workflow_type is a nullable string column.

I believe we know what all of the workflow_types should be, so we should consider using an enum (maybe we can use the already-existing enum defined in data_object_filters.py

@aclum does this sound like a good idea?

That seems like a good idea. The current enumeration conflates workflow outputs and data generation with nmdc:RawData.
