Build a function to carry out the method decided on in #392 #412

In #392 a method for calculating the proportion of people at various ages in NI was researched. Whatever came out of the research needs to be implemented in code.

We have decided that we will use 2011 census estimates in the meantime for mid-year small area population estimates in Northern Ireland. We need to create a function which will take the census 2011 age proportions and apply them to the small area mid-year population estimates.

Progress so far (so I don't forget!):

Have created a function that creates the proportions for a given year.
Have incorporated this age dataframe into the NI pipeline.

Still to do:

Currently, the pipeline only merges on for 2011 census. I need to think about creating a switch where if ==2011 then we use census but ≠≠ 2011 then we use mid-year estimates. Not sure if that can be done in this ticket!
