           Summary: Add borrower attribute types as run time parameters in

Feature request: add <<*|attribute_type>> as a run time parameter. This would
list the values from borrower_attribute_types.description in a drop down, and
choose the corresponding value of borrower_attribute_types.code.

For example, let's say that we had the following values in
borrower_attribute_types:

+--------------------+----------+
| description        | code     |
+--------------------+----------+
| Drivers License    | DL       |
| Favourite Colour   | FAVCOLOR |
| PC Allowed         | PC       |
| Previous system ID | PREVID   |
+--------------------+----------+

Then we could write queries like:

SELECT
    firstname,
    surname,
    cardnumber,
    attribute
FROM
    borrowers
    INNER JOIN borrower_attributes USING (borrowernumber)
WHERE
    borrower_attributes.code = <<Borrower attribute type|attribute_type>>

When run, the user would be prompted for 'Borrower attribute type', and would
get a drop down containing

+--------------------+
| Drivers License    |
| Favourite Colour   |
| PC Allowed         |
| Previous system ID |
+--------------------+
