Correct the columns in the Ratio of Means output.
In the Ratio of Means imputation method the strata and auxiliary columns were incorrectly output. This was not compliant with either the specification or the method's documentation. This change removes these columns from the output.
Since both strata and auxiliary columns must be passed to the method as part of the input dataset, users should join these columns onto the output via the reference and period columns if strata and auxiliary information is required in the output dataset. This was always the specified behaviour however this non-compliance was only detected in this release.
Although this is a bug fix, the output is potentially incompatible with code written against previous releases if it relies on the non-compliant behaviour. As such this release is a major version change.
