This PR does the following:
1) Fixes an issue with the computation of the weighted average marginal income tax rate across capital income sources.
2) Omits using the weighting variables from the personal income tax data since they are not present in all PIT datasets associated with the India taxcalc package.
3) Zeros out the socials security system parameters since the dollar denominated values do not make sense in this economy.
4) Changes starting values for the SS solution algorithm so that it solves (albeit with a number of warning messages along the way).
With this PR, the OG-India model will run if the India taxcalc package is installed from source (so that the github repo has been cloned locally and the datafiles can be found).
