Add Siri integration

Add SiriKit integration for iOS 10+.

"Hey Siri, when is the next 550 to Seattle?"

"Hey Siri, do I have time to catch the bus at the library?"

"Hey Siri, remind me to catch the next 271 to the U District"

Are transit apps supported by Siri in iOS 10? I thought they only had an intent for TNCs... That would be awesome if we could do it, though!

Good point. I'd assumed Ride Booking would cover it. This will require some deeper thought, obvs...

I'm all about if it works...

Based on my experiences with SiriKit, it appears that Siri doesn't integrate well with a service such as OneBusAway. Siri requires constant updates on vehicle locations and the language presented to the user is definitely confusing. As of iOS 10.2.1, I would not recommend adding Siri extension. file

I need to do some more research, but it looks like iOS 12 may finally allow this to work! https://developer.apple.com/sirikit/

AppIntents and Shortcuts are an option now, and provide a much better user experience than what SiriKit can offer.
