This hidden function distributes the population at time 0 in the steady-state conformation. This involves finding the number of mosquitoes in each day of the aquatic stages, and then splitting adults into male and female. Each stage is appropriately split amongst the initial population genotypes (see parameterizeMGDrivE). It internally calls calcLarvalDist to determine the distribution of larvae before setting the eggs and pupa from that.
