Flow Classification Rules: allow actors to be the source node

Users have requested that Actor entities should also be allowable in these rules.
Starting points:
- [ ] DDL update
flow_classification_rule
, migrateapplication_id
to an entity ref (kind/id) - [ ] Update UI for flow classification rule entry
- [ ] Update any dependent external jobs
- [ ] Update calculator:

Resourcing
We intend to contribute this feature
Lightly edited email from SJ:
I am trying to bring increased governance to the use of Actors (i.e. non-applications) within Waltz.
We use Actors in our Waltz data flows to show where data moves between applications and Actors.
As a first stab for Waltz Actors I think we need the following:
- Unique ID
- Name
- Description
- Internal/External to Org flag
- Org Owner
We would then want the additional capability to:
- Use an Actor in the Flow Classification Rules (e.g. to make an Actor a Heritage Data Distributor)
- Get the Actors into ext system (e.g.Collibra) to allow us to create formal Authority Statements with Actors) – may be a bigger development need
