Calculate mid year population for Scottish Output areas

[jwestw]

We have mid year population estimates for Scottish local authorities, but we do not have them for output areas.

To bring the data in line with England and Wales, we need to calculate the mid year population of those output areas.

Steps:

• Research how to make that calculation. We are disggregating from LA to OA
• Build functions to carry out the calculation and create mid-year population estimate output files, ready for the main pipeline
• Output as feather (for reading) and csv (for auditing)
