removed all old *_lst tables, added corresponding new classes, etc. fro covertype, owned, rating, and dropped tables from DB, etc. Updated base.html to use new tables as drop-downs that are set correctly. So far slight hack on BookForm, will finish that after syncing this all back to mara. If I do the sync, and export/import this version of DB, then the fixes.sql and fix_db() code included in main.py can be removed. Finally, lamely added a favicon and a static/ to support it

main.py
