Create Population Synthesizer Benchmark

[DavidOry]

fyi @lmz, @bstabler

Here's the direction I'm going with the MTC data.

@bstabler
Beta version is ready for your review. Intent is to include only the PUMS variables and the variables needed for the expansion and to line up variable names in a cleaner way. A bit of work would be needed to manipulate these files back into PopulationSim inputs, but the controls.csv file should be simpler.

@DavidOry - I plan to run this example once we release the PopSim multiprocess version - ActivitySim/populationsim#130

Hi @DavidOry - Coming back to this, it looks like there's a version of the updated data files in this dir: https://github.com/ZephyrTransport/software-badging-benchmarks/tree/develop-pop-syn/population-synthesis/san-francisco-bay-area
as well as in
https://github.com/ZephyrTransport/software-badging-benchmarks/tree/develop-pop-syn/population-synthesis/san-francisco-bay-area/scripts

Is this intentional? The latter files look a little bit more recent since they were updated in this commit: 2980828

I would think we'd want one version of these and not in the scripts folder?

Agree. Unintentional and has been corrected.
