Add radix type to output

This type measures which kind of classes each radix is a part of:
- Colossally Abundant (OEIS: A004490; factor score better than every
  other number if you account for size be dividing by a certain power of
  the number)
- Superabundant (OEIS: A004394; factor score better than every smaller
  number)
- Ordered-Exponent (OEIS: A025487; exponents in prime factorization go
  down as you get to bigger primes, and no prime is skipped)
- Practical (OEIS: A005153; factors can sum to any number below the
  original number without duplication)

Each of these groups is a subset of the next, so only the most specific
label is reported.

The purpose of this program is to give you useful info to help you
determine which radices are the best, and these categories give a rough,
quantitative measure of how useful a radix's factors are:
- Practical is approximately the minimum requirement for a worthwhile
  radix.  Non-practical radices above ~16 are probably terrible to use.
- Ordered-Exponent radices act like local maxima - you can't get any
  better (smaller) without changing the "shape" (exponents) of your prime
  factorization.
- Superabundant radices are the best radices below the next
  superabundant number (e.g. 12 is the best radix below 24).
- Colossally abundant radices are, in some sense, the best radices out of
  all numbers.
