[Evergreen-catalogers] RDA search formats

LC has handy tables that link the RDA terms in the MARC 33x fields to the
007 field codes : 007/01 (for 338), Leader/06 codes (for 336) and 007/00
(for 337). See http://www.loc.gov/standards/valuelist/index.html. So, for
those search filters (and icons) that utilize those 007 codes, if a bib
record has the 33x fields, those terms and codes could be used instead.

To further specify icons, the 007 field will still need to be used to
distinguish formats for videorecordings (007/04)
