Fixes: #20841

This PR configures the RackType field on the rack add/edit form to use the selector widget.

Using the selector widget improves usability by:

  • Allowing users to search rack types instead of scrolling a long dropdown
  • Making it easier to filter and choose the correct rack type (e.g. by manufacturer)
  • Keeping the rack workflow consistent with other objects that already use selector modals

No model or API changes are introduced; this only updates the rack form UI.
