collapse_dems: Collapse demographic variables across *n* years

In datalorax/sundry: A sundry of convenience functions

Description

This function will collapse demographic variables across years into a single vector. If demographics vary across years, it will return the most common value (i.e., majority rule). If there is a tie, it will randomly select from the tied demographic values. If there are missing data across any of the years, the value from the observed years will be retained. In other words, the function can be helpful for collapsing demographic data even when no demographic values vary.
