Building uvmEduPerson from uvmHumanResources and uvmStudentInformation

To determine if the uvmStudentInformation information and the uvmHumanResources information describe the same individual, the ID, PIDM, and BarCode fields will be compared between the two. If all three match and are non-zero, both records are definately for the same person. Otherwise, if the non-zero fields match, it will be assumed they are the same person.

When it is determined that the uvmHumanResources information and the uvmStudentInformation information are for the same person. If the uvmHRJobCode attribute is "A" (aka Student), the uvmStudentInformation information will be used to populate the attributes of the uvmEduPerson objectclass (which includes the eduPerson, inetorgPerson, orgPerson, and Person objectclasses). Otherwise, the uvmHumanResources information will be used to populate the attributes of the uvmEduPerson objectclass.
