Change the ZObject creation UX so that users are prompted to pick a type, instead of Z2K2 defaulting to a ZString

Description

How to reproduce: go to CreateZObject

When trying to put a ZObject into the value field, I can only put in Strings for now.

The way to enter a ZObject of any other type is to delete the field, and then add a new Z2K2, which allows me to choose a type.

The step of removing the Z2K2 field and adding it again should be skipped.

I think this should be dealt with by having the default value for Z2K2 be null, not '' (an empty string). Alternatively, just remove the Z2K2 from the default Persistent ZObject.
