Stat cats are not displaying in statistical categories editor

[Kathy Lussier]

Evergreen version: 2.8.1 and 2.8.2

The statistical categories editor is no longer displaying any statistical categories. We have confirmed that the stat cats are present in the database and can also see them in the item attribute editor and patron registration form.

This bug prevents our end users from creating new stat cats (since you need to see them stat cat to add the individual entries) and from modifying existing ones.

Marking the bug as confirmed based on confirmation from Erica Rohlfs in IRC.

We're also seeing the following error in the JavaScript Console:

We ran into this during our upgrade to 2.8. The top commit in the following branch contains our fix:

Fix works for me. Pushed to master and rel_2_8.

Thanks Jeff!!
