This PR updates OG-Core to allow demographic parameters (mortality, fertility, immigration rates -- and the resulting population distribution) to vary across lifetime income group (J).

With income specific demographics, the $\lambda_j$ are redefined and no longer will represent the shares of each income group in a model period. Rather, the $\lambda_j$ will define the fraction of new "births" into each lifetime income group.
