Change Person category and category secondary to use select list (with chosen) instead of checkboxes. #5442

Description

@joshuasosa

Motivation

The Person content type can potentially have a lot of categories in the category and category secondary lists. Checkboxes can make it unwieldy.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

A user may have to scroll a lot when there are too many checkboxes on the page from Person categories and Person secondary categories.

Proposed Resolution

Describe the solution you'd like

Change Person categories and secondary categories to use a select list with Chosen instead.

With Chosen, the select list can act like a simple tag box to show selections as tags, which may be more useful than a series of checkboxes.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Autocomplete widgets could be used, but they require a user to start typing something. It'd be nice to retain the ability to see all options like with the select list with Chosen.
