Roll Up Sunny and Rainy Streaks
Problem
Table: `RainyDays`
```text
+-----------+------+
| Column | Type |
+-----------+------+
| rain_day | date |
+-----------+------+
rain_day is the primary key. Each row is a calendar day on which it rained.
```
Table: `SunnyDays`
```text
+-----------+------+
| Column | Type |
+-----------+------+
| sun_day | date |
+-----------+------+
sun_day is the primary key. Each row is a calendar day that was sunny.
```
Across the year **2023**, every day is either rainy or sunny (never both), and the two tables together cover a set of dates. Collapse consecutive same-weather days into streaks. For each maximal run of consecutive days with the same weather, output one row with the weather and the run's first and last day.
Return `weather` (`'rainy'` or `'sunny'`), `streak_start`, `streak_end`, ordered by `streak_start`. Only consider days in 2023.
