Description

Fixes #1204, #872

• Merge tables not guaranteed to be declared before imported by their parent_source make call
  • Can cause error in fresh database when tries to declare within the make transaction
  • Done to avoid circular imports
• Add new util declare_all_merge_tables which imports all core spyglass merge tables to ensure declaration
• Run during populate_all_common (part of insert_sessions) to ensure tables are declared once data is in the database
