Add Alexa button and "speak" screen #30

Add Alexa button which shows up on the recipe and item pages. When this button is clicked, navigate to an Alexa chat history page. This page would have the Alexa chat/command history, as well as a "Speak" button through which a user can issue commands to Alexa within the app.

Alexa doesn't convert speech to text, it does all the NLP stuff (intent, slot values) directly from speech, so there isn't a way to directly store exact chat history. An alternative is to just have a screen to allow the user issue alexa commands from the app (a speak screen) and then log on the backend.

Added frontend "Alexa" button and speak screen but ditched because of login with amazon (LWA) bug preventing us from amazon authentication which is required to talk to the Amazon Voice Service (AVS) API that allows for communication with alexa from the app.
