ss.Births is not CRN safe #404

Yes! Births are deterministic in Starsim, but the properties of agents added to the simulation may not achieve CRN (still not sure). The two key properties of people are slot and female.

Instead of deterministically choosing the number of new agents to add to the sim, we could do something very similar to Pregnancy, just not create embryos nor the maternal network. This would also provide the benefit of giving each new agent a biological mother.
