Confusion around "is lidar" on sensor type

[rrowlands]

I feel like this new LIDAR stuff is a little confusing to use.

The collection won't be recognized in our system as a "lidar collection" (and thus you won't get silvimetric processing capabilities) unless the selected sensor type has "is lidar" checked to true. However, there is also a LIDAR wave length. And so for the end user I think one could be easily mistaken thinking they are creating a LIDAR collection since their wave length is set to LIDAR.

I ran into this during development but I'm also seeing it happening right now in prod. Somebody is uploading data to a collection with sensor (True View 515 (LIDAR)), and the sensor wave length is LIDAR, but the sensor type is Laser (which doesn't have "is lidar" checked).
