Installing Data Classification plugin demo data

When you upgrade to or install Washington DC (and above), the Data Classification (com.glide.data_classification) plugin is automatically activated. However, you should manually install the demo data that comes with the plugin. It includes several important pre-defined data classifications, and it also assigns one of them to specific User [sys_user] table columns in your instance.
