Hotfix: Default to Birth Sex

Hotfix: Default to Birth Sex

Description & motivation

By default, if studentEducationOrganizationAssociations.genderIdentity is not populated, no gender information makes it through to dim_student. In some Stadium implementations (like SCDE), genderIdentity is not accessible, but birthSex is.

This PR proposes defaulting to birthSex value if the genderIdentity field is empty.

PR Merge Priority:

• Low
• Medium
• High

Changes to existing files:

• bld_ef3__immutable_stu_demos.sql: Use a coalesce to prefer gender identity, then birth sex.

Tests and QC done:

This code has not been run in SCDE yet. I'd like to discuss whether this should be a default or a config option.
