Fixes #80

This PR adds a hyperlink to the conference date, which lets users add the conference to their Google Calendar.

This what the page looks like with the new hyperlinks:

I'm not a fan. What if someone wants support for adding to another calendar service? Do we keep adding buttons until all services are covered?

Let's try to use an open protocol. I'm not sure if there's anything as convenient as the proposed solution is for Google users. But maybe a separate iCalendar file for each event will be good enough?

Edit: Maybe we can use the webcal: URI scheme.

This sounds like a great alternative. @thatfiredev are you up for taking a look at this?
