Subject: [PATCH] CLDC-4143: Update gender-related validations (#3183)

* CLDC-4143: Update gender retirement validations

rename functions as the new wording is more related to those that identify as male and any other option

* CLDC-4143: Add 2026 tests

* CLDC-4143: Update legacy json files

causes issues with some old tests

* CLDC-4143: Add error mappings for gender fields

* CLDC-4143: Add new gender age retirement soft validation

replaces the many check pages from previous years with a single one

shows if either of the previous ones would show

has agreed wording on ticket

* fixup! CLDC-4143: Update gender retirement validations

improve gender comment wording

* CLDC-4143: Update non males validation name

reference to 'soft validation' we found confusing

* fixup! CLDC-4143: Add new gender age retirement soft validation

update subsection specs
