enable hg38 import in production databases

[yichaoS]

Manda already did the set up on dashi-dev cgds_hgnc database. (migration + expand reference_genome_genes table). Need to do the same work for cgds_gdac and public database.

Already have a hg38 (Brain pediatric CHOP) study on datahub here: https://github.com/cBioPortal/datahub/tree/master/public/brain_cptac_2020

@yichaoS is this still something we need to look at?

[yichaoS]

@averyniceday Yes, we would need to do it at some point, soonish I assume. We have the prototype imported before on dashi-dev (with the help from @mandawilson for expanding the database) (this is the slack conversation thread https://cbioportal.slack.com/archives/G55LK2SRF/p1633462181007800) and the forntend's "merging different builds warning" feature works well too (see screenshots). But seems like there's more space to improve the visualization still, and a discussion issue regarding to this is still open here: https://github.com/cBioPortal/cbioportal/issues/8919
