Add gnomAD STR genotype track under gnomadVariants supertrack

87 disease-associated STR loci from gnomAD v3.1.3, aggregated from
~1.4M individual genotypes (18,511 WGS samples, ExpansionHunter v5).
Includes allele frequency distributions and population breakdowns.
Added relatedTracks links to strVar supertrack, refs #35420, refs #36652
