recode_gender matches uncleaned gender responses to cleaned list using
an built-in or custom dictionary.

gender |
a character vector of gender responses for recoding |
dictionary |
a list that the contains gender responses and their
replacement values. A built-in dictionary |
retain_unmatched |
logical indicating if gender responses that are not found in dictionary should be filled with the uncleaned values during recoding |
